Fault-Tracing Information

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.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Ignition on
Read the engine temperature sensor signal by clicking the VCT2000 symbol.
Check that the signal corresponds with the engine temperature.





Does the signal correspond to the engine temperature?

Yes - VERIFIED

No - VERIFICATION FAILED
