Electrolysis is caused by a bad ground some where on the vehicle. The coolant system is replacing that bad ground. Check this link. http://www.awrracing.com/media/electrolysis.pdf
Or do a google search for "cooling system electrolysis". Lots of good info on diagnosing and repairing.

It doesn't happen. It's a misnomer. What's actually happening is "galvanic action". Look them both up in a dictionary or WikiPedia.
It's too long to post here, but read the TSBs in this caption (both of which MISuse the term).
