Engine Coolant Over Temperature Warning Indicator

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mercury Grand Marquis and 2009 Ford Crown Victoria. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The PCM receives the engine coolant temperature status through hardwired circuitry to the cylinder head temperature sensor. The instrument cluster (IC) receives the engine coolant temperature data from the PCM over the CAN. The instrument cluster (IC) monitors the engine coolant temperature data received from the PCM and when the engine coolant temperature is high, or if the vehicle has entered a failsafe cooling mode, the engine over temperature warning indicator illuminates.
