Diagnosis and Testing. Is the coolant pump leaking?
(1). Yes - proceed to Step 2.
(2). No - this article does not apply. Continue with normal WSM diagnosis.
2. Add Motorcraft® Premium Cooling System Flush to the cooling system and top off with water as needed and allow
the engine to idle for 30 minutes.
3. Drain the cooling system and leave the radiator drain valve open. Refer to the WSM, Section 303-03A Engine
Cooling - 1.5L EcoBoost > Engine Cooling System Draining, Vacuum Filling and Bleeding.

Figure 1

6. Release the clamps and disconnect the upper and lower radiator hoses from the radiator.
7. Flush the radiator for 2-3 minutes by inserting/connecting a freshwater hose or flush machine in the upper hose
port of the radiator.
8. Using compressed air regulated down to 20-30psi, blow compressed air through the upper hose connection of the
radiator for 1-2 minutes to remove any remaining water.
9. Remove the coolant pump. Refer to WSM, Section 303-03A Engine Cooling - 1.5L EcoBoost > Removal and
Installation > Coolant Pump.
