Fault symptom
Fault indicator lamp (for further information see WIS Fault diagnosis, general)
Incorrect temperature gauge reading.
Radiator fan runs continuously.
On-board diagnosis
Type of diagnosis:
Enable criteria:
Engine temperature under 71°C. |
Battery voltage must be between 11 - 16 V. |
NONE of the following DTCs must be detected: |
Fault criteria:
When the temperature increase (measured from starting temperature) is below 2°C at various load ranges (150 mg/C, 270 mg/C). |
Dependent:
System reaction to a fault:
The system continues to function with a calculated engine temperature. |
OK report:
Fault criteria NOT fulfilled. |
Fault handling:
(See section Fault handling III, "Other emission-related components and functions" for more information.) |
Checking the wiring harness
Move the wiring harness at several spots and in several directions to reveal intermittent breaks and short-circuits. Check switches, connectors and crimp connections for oxidation, retracted pins and pin clamping force.
Diagnostic help
Diagnosis regards:
Electrical fault in the component (displays constant temperature regardless of actual temperature). |
