| DTC | Description | Fault Trigger Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| P1285 | Cylinder Head Overtemperature Condition | Sets in the PCM when an engine overheat condition was sensed by the CHT sensor. |
| P1299 | Cylinder Head Overtemperature Protection Active | Sets in the PCM when an engine overheat condition was detected by the CHT sensor. A failure mode effects management strategy called fail-safe cooling was activated to cool the engine |
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) FAULT TRIGGER CONDITIONS
