      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The value of Radiator Coolant Temperature is more than 135 °C A
      None of the above conditions are met B

      HINT: 

      135°C (275°F)

    Post-procedure1

    • None.

    Result: 

    REPLACE NO. 2 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. Refer to  REMOVAL [10/2022 - 08/2023]  , or refer to  REMOVAL [08/2023 - ]
