With Consult-II

  1. Turn ignition switch OFF, wait at least 10 seconds and then turn ON.
  2. Check "COOLAN TEMP/S" in "DATA MONITOR" mode with CONSULT-II.

    Confirm "COOLAN TEMP/S" value is within the range listed below.

    COOLAN TEMP/S: Less than 40°C (104°F) 

    If the value is out of range, park the vehicle in a cool place and allow the engine temperature to stabilize. Do not attempt to lower the engine coolant temperature with a fan or means other than ambient air. Doing so may produce an inaccurate diagnostic result.
