Service-Station Feature

This service station feature continues on IHKA E36. The control panel/module continues to power both coolant valves closed  for about 3 minutes after the ignition is switched "Off." This feature prevents the heater cores from being flooded with hot coolant when the engine is shut off for brief periods (e.g. during refueling).
