DTC DESCRIPTION P1285 - CYLINDER HEAD OVER TEMPERATURE CONDITION

Description:  This DTC sets when an engine overheat condition was sensed by the cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor.
Possible Causes: 
  • Low engine coolant level
  • Base engine concerns
  • Engine cooling system concerns
  • CHT sensor concern
Diagnostic Aids:  On some applications when this fault occurs the engine temperature warning indicator illuminates or forces the temperature gauge to the full H (hot) zone. The warning indicator can be triggered by either grounding the engine temperature warning circuit when wired to the PCM, or by sending a PCM network message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC).
