Fault-tracing
Checking the status
- Start the engine.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent. Read off the engine coolant temperature sensor signal. Check that the value is within its permitted range.
The fault is permanent if the value is not within its permitted range. If the value is within its permitted range, the fault is intermittent and not presently active.
