Abstract
A method for controlling a cooling system for a vehicle is provided. The system includes an engine, an EGR cooler, an oil cooler, a heater, a radiator, and a controller. The engine, the EGR cooler, the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator are respectively connected through a coolant line and coolant circulates through the engine, the EGR cooler, the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator by operation of a water pump. The controller receives the coolant from the engine and operates a control valve connected with the oil cooler, the heater, and the radiator. The method includes: sensing driving conditions and operating the control valve when a cooling mode is required to decrease the temperature within the vehicle based on the sensed driving conditions. The control valve is operated based on modes controlled depending on a coolant temperature, and among the plurality of modes, one is iteratively performed.
