| SYMPTOM |
POSSIBLE CAUSES |
ACTION |
| Coolant loss |
- Coolant hose damaged
- Coolant hose clamp loose/damaged
- Radiator leaking/damaged
- Coolant pump seal failed
- Heater core leaking/damaged
- Seal/gasket leaking
- Engine casting leaking
- Engine core plugs leaking
|
- Check for coolant leaks. Perform a cooling system pressure test. Rectify as necessary
|
| Overheating |
- Coolant level low
- Coolant contaminated
- Coolant leak
- Thermostat stuck closed
- Radiator airflow obstructed
- Cooling fan inoperative
|
- Check the coolant level. Rectify as necessary
- Check the condition of the coolant. Rectify as necessary
- Check for coolant leaks. Perform a cooling system pressure test. Rectify as necessary
- Check the operation of the thermostat. Rectify as necessary
- Check the radiator for obstructions. Rectify as necessary
- Check the operation of the cooling fan. Rectify as necessary
|
| Engine not reaching normal temperature |
|
- Check the operation of the thermostat. Rectify as necessary
|
| Cooling fan operating at maximum speed - Engine not running |
NOTE:
Circuit reference - PWM -
- Cooling fan control module PWM signal circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
|
- Refer to the appropriate system wiring diagram and check the cooling fan control module PWM signal circuit for short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
|
| Cooling fan is stationary - Engine running |
NOTE:
Circuit reference - IGN -
- Cooling fan control module ignition signal circuit short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance
|
- Refer to the appropriate system wiring diagram and check the cooling fan control module ignition signal circuit for short circuit to ground, short circuit to power, open circuit, high resistance. Repair the wiring harness as necessary
