DIC Coolant Level Low Message Is Displayed W/ Coolant Level

OK

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect low coolant sensor connector. Connect a fused jumper wire between low coolant sensor connector terminal "C" (Yellow/Black wire) and ground. Turn ignition on. If LOW ENGINE COOLANT message is not displayed, go step 4). If LOW ENGINE COOLANT message is displayed, go to next step.
  2. Set voltmeter to diode check. Measure voltage by backprobing between low coolant sensor terminals "A" (Black wire) and "B" (Pink wire). If about 12 volts are present in one direction only, go to next step. If about 12 volts are not present in one direction only, check Pink and Black wires for an open circuit. Also check low coolant sensor for good terminal contact. If all circuits are okay, replace low coolant sensor.
  3. Check low coolant sensor connector for good contact at terminals "A" (Black wire), "B" (Pink wire), and "C" (Yellow/Black wire). If terminal contact is okay, replace low coolant sensor.
  4. Check Brown/White wiring for an open circuit or high resistance. Disconnect IPC cluster connector C1. Check connector for good terminal contact at terminal D14 (Yellow/Black wire). If circuit is okay, replace IPC.
