Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
See Temperature Gauge. REFER to: Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - System Operation and Component Description .
If the IPC does not receive the engine coolant temperature message or if the engine coolant temperature message is deemed invalid from the PCM for more than 5 seconds, the IPC defaults the temperature gauge to cold (C).
