Fault code information

1 trip MIL
3 drive cycle recovery
Readiness group – None
Freeze frame type – Cooling

Description of component(s)

The coolant temperature is measured in the coolant return gallery at the right rear end of the cylinder block.
Effect on the system:
* Calculates the quantity of fuel to inject and the injection timing
* Displays the coolant temperature to the driver
* Displays warnings to the driver concerning high coolant temperature
* Limits the engine torque when the coolant temperature is too high
* Limits the maximum engine speed when the engine is cold
* Enables condition for severity of (OBD) diagnostic checks
* Fast idle speed control
* Cold start aid
