Checking The Component
WARNING:
The engine cooling fan (FC) can also operate if the ignition is switched off when this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.
HINT: To avoid injury, disconnect the power supply to the engine cooling fan (FC) during fault-tracing.
- Check the connector on the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor freezes. This may happen if the coolant level is low or there is too little glycol in the coolant. Check the engine coolant level and its freezing point.
HINT: The diagnostic trouble code (DTC) can be caused by a thermostat that doesn't open.
Remedy as necessary.
