- ACTIVE DTC Ignition on, engine not running. NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could be the cause of this DTC. With a scan tool, read DTCs. Diagnose all other ECT and Cooling System codes before continuing. Is the DTC Active at this time? Yes Go To 2 . No Refer to the «INTERMITTENT CONDITION»(ref-306207-S19641665412008120900000) Diagnostic Procedure.
- LOW COOLANT LEVEL NOTE: If a Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code, diagnose the ECT DTC first. NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion and damage. NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have a totally cold soaked engine. NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTC to set. NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can set this DTC. WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system is under pressure. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Inspect the coolant system for proper level and condition. Is the coolant level and condition OK? Yes Go To 3 . No Inspect the vehicle for a coolant leak and add the necessary amount of coolant. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-306217-S13377649292008120900000) .
- THERMOSTAT NOTE: This test works best if performed on a cold engine (cold soak). Ignition on, engine not running. With a scan tool, read the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. If the engine was allowed to sit overnight (cold soak), the temperature value should be a sensible value that is somewhere close to the ambient temperature. NOTE: If engine coolant temperature is above 82° C (180° F), allow the engine to cool until 65° C (150° F) is reached. Start the Engine. During engine warm-up monitor the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg value. The temp deg value change should be a smooth transition from start up to normal operating temp 82° C (180° F). Also monitor the actual coolant temperature with a thermometer. NOTE: As the engine warms up to operating temperature, the actual coolant temperature (thermometer reading) and the Eng Coolant Tmp Deg on the scan tool should stay relatively close to each other. Using the appropriate service information, determine the proper opening temperature of the thermostat. Did the thermostat open at the proper temperature? Yes Go To 4 . No Replace the thermostat.

Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched, or partially broken wires. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Ignition Coil and the Powertrain Control Module connectors. Refer to any Technical Service Bulletins that may apply. Were there any problems found? Yes Repair as necessary. Perform «POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST»(ref-306217-S13377649292008120900000) .
