Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature based on the starting temperature, engine load, and engine speed. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual engine coolant temperature. When the estimated engine coolant temperature reaches 73°C (163.4°F), the ECM checks the actual engine coolant temperature. If the actual engine coolant temperature is less than 73°C (163.4°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and stores this DTC.
