DTC P1258: Engine Coolant Temperature High: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2001 GMC Savana, 2001 Chevrolet RV Cutaway, 2001 Chevrolet Cutaway, and 2001 Chevrolet Chevy Express. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor to monitor engine for an over temperature condition. This condition occurs when coolant temperature is more than 270°F (132°C). When an over temperature condition is present, DTC P1258 will set. PCM will disable two groups of four cylinders by turning off fuel injectors. By switching between two groups of cylinders, PCM is able to reduce temperature of coolant.
