Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the engine control module (ECM). The IPC receives serial data message from the ECM indicating the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature gage defaults to 60°C (140°F) or below if:
- The ECM detects a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit.
- The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the BCM.
- The BCM detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
