Diagnostic Test

1. INSPECT THE LOW COOLANT INDICATOR LAMP
Turn the ignition off.
Remove the Low Coolant Indicator Lamp from the Instrument Cluster and inspect the lamp for an open filament.
Is the lamp filament open?

Yes

- Replace the Low Coolant Indicator Lamp. Procedures.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

No

- Go to 2

2. INSPECT THE LOW WASHER FLUID INDICATOR LAMP
With the ignition off.
Remove the Low Washer Fluid Indicator Lamp from the Instrument Cluster and inspect the lamp for an open filament.
Is the lamp filament open?

Yes

- Replace the Low Washer Fluid Indicator Lamp. Procedures.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

No

- Go to 3

3. MEASURE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR RESISTANCE




With the ignition off.
Disconnect the Coolant Level Sensor harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Measure the resistance between cavity 1 and cavity 2 of the Coolant Level Sensor connector.
Is the resistance between 102 and 120 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 4

No

- Replace the Coolant Level Sensor. Removal.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

4. MEASURE WASHER FLUID LEVEL SWITCH RESISTANCE




With the ignition off.
Disconnect the Washer Fluid Level Switch harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Measure the resistance between cavity 1 and cavity 2 of the Washer Fluid Level Switch connector.
Is the resistance between 145 and 185 ohms?

Yes

- Go to 5

No

- Replace the Washer Fluid Level Switch. Removal.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

5. MEASURE COOLANT LEVEL SENSOR/WASHER FLUID LEVEL SWITCH CIRCUIT RESISTANCE




With the ignition off.
Disconnect the Instrument Cluster C1 harness connector.

NOTE: Check connectors - Clean/repair as necessary.

Connect a jumper wire between cavity 1 and cavity 2 of the Coolant Level Sensor harness connector.
Connect a jumper wire between cavity 1 and cavity 2 of the Washer Fluid Level Switch harness connector.
Measure the resistance between cavity 4B and 12B of the Instrument Cluster C1 harness connector.
Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes

- Replace the Instrument Cluster. Instrument Cluster - Removal.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test

No

- Repair the Coolant Level Sensor/Washer Fluid Level Switch circuit for an open.
- Perform BODY VERIFICATION TEST. Body Verification Test
