  • When the coolant level drops below a certain level, a power derate will be activated, which will decrease the power output by 50 percent over a 30-second period.
  • If a shorting plug is used in the coolant level circuit, verify that it is wired correctly.
  • Inspect the wiring harness between the four-way connector and the coolant level sensor for damage.
