An engine that soaks for about 8 hours will help diagnosis the condition. After the cold soak, operate the vehicle at highway speeds for 20 minutes while monitoring the Calculated ECT-Thermostat parameter with a scan tool. If there is a condition, the calculated temperature will be 10°C (18°F) greater than the actual engine coolant temperature.
