2019 Chevrolet Trax Premier, AWDSECTION Visual/Physical Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Chevrolet Trax and 2018 Buick Encore. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

Use the connector test adapter kit EL-35616-F for any test that requires probing the following items:

  • The control module harness connectors
  • The electrical center fuse/relay cavities
  • The component terminals
  • The component harness connector

Using this kit will prevent damage caused by the improper probing of connector terminals.

Several of the symptom procedures call for a careful visual and physical inspection. This can lead to correcting a condition without further tests and can save time. This inspection should include the following:

  • Ensure that the control module grounds are clean, tight, and correctly located.
  • Inspect cooling system hoses and pipes for splits, kinks, and improper connections. Inspect thoroughly for any type of leak or restriction.
  • Inspect for a dirty or restricted radiator or HVAC condenser.
  • Inspect for aftermarket devices which could affect the operation of the cooling system.
  • Inspect the easily accessible or visible system components for obvious damage or conditions which could cause the symptom.
  • Inspect the coolant recovery reservoir for proper coolant level.
