WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- If the ignition has been OFF for 10 hours or more, the ECT and the IAT should be within 6°C (11°F) of each other and also the ambient temperature. Turn ON the ignition with the engine OFF and use a scan tool to observe the IAT and the ECT sensor parameters.
- Inspect the ECT sensor terminals for corrosion and for engine coolant leaking through the sensor.
- Use the scan tool to verify the proper operation of the engine cooling fans.
- Turn OFF the ignition.
- Inspect the cooling system surge tank for the proper engine coolant level. Refer to Cooling System Leak Testing and Draining and Filling Cooling System (w/RPO HP2) or Draining and Filling Cooling System (w/o RPO HP2) .
- Verify the proper heat range and the operation of the thermostat. Refer to Thermostat Diagnosis .
