  Q: How Do You Remove the Radiator?

  A: To remove the radiator, start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal, and on 2015 and later models with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), disconnect the IBS connector first. If applicable, remove the air filter housing and drain the cooling system, saving the coolant if it's in good condition. Next, remove the upper radiator hose and plastic panels between the radiator support and the top front of the front cover. For 2011 and later models, carefully remove the upper shroud cover. Proceed to remove the cooling fan assembly, raise the front of the vehicle, and remove the lower engine splash shield. Take out the lower radiator hose and, if needed, the front bumper cover and air deflector. Remove the lower mounting fasteners attaching the air conditioning condenser to the radiator and, for 2011 through 2014 models, the radiator core support-to-radiator lower mounting bolts. Remove the radiator upper mounting brackets and carefully separate the air conditioning condenser from the radiator. Tilt the radiator towards the engine and lift it from the engine compartment, taking care not to damage the airflow seals or spill coolant. Inspect the radiator for leaks and damage, clean it thoroughly, and check the radiator mounts for deterioration. Installation is the reverse of the removal procedure. Fill the cooling system with the proper mixture of antifreeze and water, start the engine, check for leaks, and verify the coolant level after reaching normal operating temperature.
