What are the ways to check the operation of the water pump and what are the signs of a defective water pump on Cadillac DTS?

A failure in the water pump can lead to engine damage and if it is found to be defective, it should be replaced with a new or rebuilt unit. In the event of a water pump seal failure, coolant will leak out at the left front of the engine, between the cylinder head and the coolant crossover housing. It is important not to mistake drive belt slippage, which causes a squealing sound, for water pump bearing failure. A quick check of water pump performance can be done by putting the heater on, as a corroded impeller in the pump may prevent efficient circulation of hot coolant.

Cadillac DTS Water Pump

The Water Pump in Cadillac DTS cars aids in circulation of coolant from the radiator to the engine to sop up heat formed during combustion. Almost all the modern water pumps are made up of aluminum casting having a rotating shaft and an impeller for the purpose of moving the coolant. The signs that a vehicle water pump is failing are, leakage, noise due to the bearing failure and excessive heating of the engine. High flow water pumps are used for high-performance engines as they provide more flow through the coolant and pull less power. Other electrical loads are water pumps for Matters such as independent coolant circulating and post-engine-shutdown cooling. Water pumps may be of modified Original Equipment or cast iron, or a completely custom fabricated aluminum one depending on the requirements of the kind of engine and horsepower.
