Test Procedure

Step	Procedure	Result / Action to Take
1	PERFORM: Preliminary Check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK . -- Was Complaint verified?	-- YES: GO TO: Step 2. -- NO: GATHER more information from customer about the complaint.
2	IGNITION: OFF. DISCONNECT: Engine Coolant Level Sensor -G32- harness connector. REMOVE: Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. CHECK: Engine Coolant Level Sensor -G32- harness connector terminal 1 to the Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519- harness connector T73a / 40 for resistance. CHECK: Engine Coolant Level Sensor -G32- harness connector terminal 2 to the Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519- harness connector T73a / 45 for resistance. SPECIFIED VALUE: 0.5 Ω (± 0.3 Ω). -- Were Values obtained?	-- YES: REPLACE: Engine Coolant Level Sensor -G32-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. GO TO: Step 3. -- NO: PERFORM: Visual Inspection of wiring and component. CHECK: Wiring for open, high resistance, short or harness connector for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals. REPAIR: Faulty wiring or connector. GO TO: Step 3.
3	Final Procedure Perform a road test to verify repair. -- Does the original DTC return?	-- YES: CHECK: Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519- harness connector for any damaged, pushed-out pins. REPAIR: As necessary. If all electrical connections are OK: REPLACE: Vehicle Electrical System Control Module -J519-. Refer to appropriate Service Information. Clear the DTC's. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC MODE 04 - ERASE DTC MEMORY . Repair is complete. Generate Readiness Code. Refer to READINESS CODE . Return vehicle to Customer. -- NO: Perform the diagnostic procedure for any DTC's. If no DTC's return, the repair is complete. Return vehicle to customer.
