Logic Flow Chart

Logic Flow Chart:

Check Condition
- Battery positive voltage is higher than 11 volts.
- Intake air temp from 0 °C (32 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F).
- Engine coolant temperature is less than 40 °C (104 °F) at engine start.
- The engine coolant temperature - intake air temperature is 5 °C (41 °F) or less at engine start.

Judgement Criteria
- When the difference between the radiator sensor output temperature after the engine is started and the coolant temperature is 15 °C (59 °F) or more.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN
Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19. OBD - II Drive Cycle

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE SET ARE:)
- Tampering of the DOR radiator

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:
- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. DOR radiator sensor installation check

- Check that the sensor is installed securely and operates normally.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES : Go to Step 2.

NO : Replace the DOR radiator. Then go to Step 3.

STEP 2. Replace the DOR radiator

1. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19. OBD - II Drive Cycle
2. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q: Is DTC P1546 set?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 3.

NO : The procedure is complete.

STEP 3. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.

1. Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19. OBD - II Drive Cycle
2. Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q: Is DTC P1546 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.

NO : The procedure is complete.
