Radiator blocking and SAFE temperatures!

And are there two separate radiators (heat exchangers)? i.e., where does the electronics cooling circuit dump its excess heat?

There wouldn't be much use for two reservoirs into the same system would there? Fluid flows to the lowest level. The level would be the same in both at all times if they were connected so a second one would serve no purpose that I can think of. Mine are at different levels.
Just verified pg 280 of the '06 Owners manual. "Your vehicle is equipped with two separate coolant systems..." and on page 281 " The two systems us the same coolant and operate similarly, with the Motor and Electronics system generally operating at a lower temperature and pressure"
They use the same kind of coolant but are separate systems. Otherwise you couldn't have two different pressures maintained. Well I suppose its POSSIBLE you could have two pressures, but its certainly not likely.

As I understand it there ARE two separate heat exhangers... the electronics one is smaller.
