Diagnostic Aids

If an overheating condition is suspected, check if it is caused by an actual boilover. If gauge or light indicates an overheat condition and boilover is not evident, inspect gauge circuit for malfunction.

If vehicle is overheating and gauge or light indicates so but cooling fan is not coming on, check Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor temperature using a scan tester. ECT sensor may have shifted out of calibration and should be replaced. If engine is overheating and cooling fan is on, check cooling system. PCM will command primary cooling fan on at 226°F (108°C) and off at 221°F (105°C). Secondary cooling fan will turn on at 235°F (113°C) and off at 230°F (110°C).
