Engine Coolant Temperature Light Does Not Work
With the ignition key on, the engine coolant temperature warning light on the instrument panel does not work.
NOTE:
The message comes from the engine coolant temperature sensor signal to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on the CAN-C network and made available to the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the Body Control Module (BCM) via the CAN-B network.
| 1 | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Connect a diagnostic scan tool. Verify the absence of anomalies on the PCM. |
Continue to Step 2 | Presence of errors | Proceed as indicated by the diagnostic tool | |
| 2 | CHECK WITH DIAGNOSTIC TOOL | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| With the diagnostic scan tool still connected to the DLC, test the functionality of the light in the IPC through active diagnosis | Continue to Step 3 | The lamp does not flash. | Replace instrument panel cluster | |
| 3 | CHECK ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Check continuity / insulation of the wiring between the engine coolant temperature sensor and the PCM. | Continue to Step 4 | Circuit fault / not insulated | Restore circuit continuity / insulation | |
| 4 | CHECK ENGINE TEMPERATURE SENSOR | Result OK | Result Not OK | Action |
| Check the correct operation of the engine coolant temperature sensor | Diagnostic complete | faulty sensor | Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor |
