Having trouble getting the I/C coolant low message to go away after installing the ripatuned incognito lower pulley sleeve on my 19 challenger HC. The reservoir is full and I tried cracking the pink bleeder screw to release the air bubble but still every time I take the car out the I/C low pops up after a few seconds. The coolant temp seems normal and the car is performing the same. any ideas? Trying to stay away from the stealership. Thanks in advance

I/C Coolant Level Low Warning... Huh?

When you say top do you mean the over flow hose? Just to the right of the reservoir, the top aluminum pipe where it meets the rubber, pinch that rubber line. You'll see just before that there is a Y that leads to the reservoir where it'll force the fluid to go.

Did fluid come out immediately when you cracked open the bleeder screw? It doesn't spray out all over, so just open it slowly.

I added a HE and reservoir to my car and have been fighting this issue, too. One thing the directions for the bwoody HE said was to raise the back of the car up as high as possible and then while the car is running, bleed the system with the screw.

I ended up having my entire return line going right below the radiator full of air. I took the hose off at the pump (suction side) and a bunch of air came out. This method makes a real mess and didn't fix it totally for me, though it did help. I have since modified the cap on my reservoir so I can use a vacuum fill tool. Since you have a stock reservoir you could just pick up a cheap tool like that at harbor freight or one of your autoparts stores might have loner one. Harbor Freight was the only place around that even had one.

I talked to HHP today about the trouble I am having and they said what they do is hook up the vacuum tool and then run the IC pump with the vacuum tool on and then open the bleed screw.

Either way, that IC coolant low message is an air pocket(s) somewhere.

I have an IC Coolant Level Low message showing after the dealer replaced the auxiliary coolant pump and coolant. Pic shows the level after car sat all night. Dealer says that this is the correct level. They also said that it's difficult to bleed all the air out of the coolant lines on a Hellcat. Really?

I used the Hellcat Burnbox to cycle coolant into that overflow reservoir while the car was jacked up after the HE installation. Takes a while and several cycles but all I did was keep the car on a battery tender and had the car in accessories mode and ran the pump and put a little coolant in at a time. Worked great as long as you are patient and it got all the air out of the system. Plus now I have like 60 extra ounces of coolant flowing thru that side.

I ended up solving my issue by draing the coolant again and pressurizing the system the correct way. Purchased a kit from harbor freight for 80 bucks (linked below). The kit works great but you need an air compressor to use it. Going on 2 weeks with no I/c low message and temps are perfect. Hope this helps someone….. Cooling System Test and Refill Kit
