Circuit Description
The coolant level sensor monitors the coolant level within the coolant system and passes information to the electronic control module (ECM) through the sensor harness. This sensor is very complex. Do not use a multimeter to check the coolant level sensor. If the radiator coolant level drops below a certain level, a power derate will occur and become greater as time goes by.
Component Location
The coolant level sensor is located in the radiator top tank or surge tank.
