Over-Temperature Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The PCM monitors the engine, the motor electronics coolant temperature (MECT), and the electronically controlled continuously variable transaxle (CVT) for an over-temperature condition. If either of the temperatures exceed their threshold value, the fail-safe cooling status changes status to ON, and the PCM broadcasts an over-temperature indicator on CAN message to the instrument cluster. The instrument cluster then illuminates the indicator light. The over-temperature indicator is extinguished when the temperature returns below the threshold value.
