Engine Coolant Level Switch: 3.4L

  1. Ensure engine coolant surge tank is full. Add coolant as necessary. Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM harness connector C2. Using a test light connected to battery voltage, probe engine coolant level switch signal circuit (Yellow/Black wire) at PCM harness connector. If test light does not illuminate, go to next step. If test light illuminates, go to step  5.
  2. Turn ignition off. Reconnect PCM harness connector. Turn ignition on. Raise and support vehicle. Disconnect engine coolant level switch harness connector. Using DVOM, measure voltage between engine coolant switch harness connector terminals. If battery voltage is present, go to step  6. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
  3. Using DVOM, measure voltage between engine coolant level switch harness connector signal circuit (Yellow/Black wire) and chassis ground. If battery voltage is present, go to step  7. If battery voltage is not present, go to next step.
  4. Check for an open in engine coolant level switch signal circuit (Yellow/Black wire). If problem does not exist, go to step  9. If problem exists, repair as necessary and go to step  11.
  5. Check for a short to ground in engine coolant level switch signal circuit (Yellow/Black wire). If problem does not exist, go to step  9. If problem exists, repair as necessary and go to step  11.
  6. Check for poor terminal connections at engine coolant level switch harness connector. If problem does not exist, go to step  8. If problem exists, repair as necessary and go to step  11.
  7. Locate and repair open in engine coolant level switch ground circuit. After repairs, go to step  11.
  8. Replace engine coolant level switch. After repairs, go to step  11.
  9. Diagnose instrument panel cluster microprocessor. If problem does not exist, go to next step. If problem exists, repair as necessary and go to step  11.
  10. Replace PCM. After repairs, go to next step.
  11. Check coolant level indicator for proper operation. If coolant level indicator operates properly, system is okay. If coolant level indicator does not operate properly, go to step  1.
