Temperature Gauge

Fault symptoms
Temperature gauge constantly indicates low temperature L

Diagnostic trouble code B1311 may be present in Integrated Central Electronics (ICE).

Radiator fan may start when ignition switched on

Diagnostic procedure
1 Check whether any diagnostic trouble codes are present in the ICE module. If there are, take the necessary steps.
2 If no diagnostic trouble codes are present in the ICE module, continue fault diagnosis as described in "Body Control Module".
If no faults are discovered when carrying out the diagnostic procedure described, continue with point 3.
3 Check the conductive foil on the rear of the main instrument display panel for an open circuit between pin 9 (14p) and the screw marked "T SIG" on the main instrument display panel.

If the conductive foil is intact and the temperature gauge does not work, the fault is probably in the gauge. The complete main instrument display panel will have to be changed.

If there is an open circuit in the conductive foil, change the foil.
