Circuit/System Verification
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Verify the condition does not exist: Incorrect fluid level or condition - Refer to: Loss of Coolant
- If a condition exists
Repair or replace as necessary
- Go to next step: If no condition exists
- If a condition exists
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Verify there are no DTCs set, except DTC P0128, P01F0, related to the following system/component: B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- If a related DTC is set
- Go to next step: If a related DTC is not set
- Perform the following procedure/test: Thermostat Diagnosis
Verify the procedure/test passes.
- If the procedure/test does not pass
Replace the component that failed the test: Engine Coolant Thermostat
- Go to next step: If the procedure/test passes
- If the procedure/test does not pass
- Verify the scan tool parameter: ECT Sensor = Colder than 54°C (130°F)
- If 54°C (130°F) or warmer
- Ignition/Vehicle - Off - For greater than 30 min
- Ignition - On/Vehicle - In Service Mode
- Repeat the procedure starting at step 5
- Go to next step: If colder than 54°C (130°F)
- Engine - Running@1, 800 to 2, 200 RPM - For greater than 10 min
Verify the scan tool parameter: ECT Sensor = Warmer than 80°C (176°F)
- If 80°C (176°F) or colder
Refer to: Circuit/System Testing
- Go to next step: If warmer than 80°C (176°F)
- If 80°C (176°F) or colder
- Verify the scan tool parameter: ECT Sensor = The parameter value should not change
Perform the action while monitoring the parameter:
- Wiggle the harness and connector(s) : B34 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor
- Wiggle the harness and connector(s) : K20 Engine Control Module
- Wiggle the harness and connector(s) : X164 Inline Harness Connector
- If the parameter value changes
Repair as necessary - Wiring/Terminal(s)/Electrical Connector(s)
- Go to next step: If the parameter value does not change
- Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Verify the DTC does not set.
- If the DTC sets
Repeat the procedure starting at step 1
- Go to next step: If the DTC does not set
- If the DTC sets
- All OK.
