Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2012 GMC Yukon XL, 2012 GMC Yukon, 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2012 Chevrolet Suburban, and 2012 Chevrolet Avalanche. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The IPC displays the engine coolant temperature as determined by the ECM. The IPC receives a serial data message from the ECM indicating the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature gauge defaults to 60°C (140°F) or below if:
- The ECM detects a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit.
- The IPC detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
- The body control module (BCM) detects a loss of serial data communications with the ECM.
