Determine if the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has set DTC's which may affect Engine Cooling operation are present.
The presence of DTCs which begin with "U" indicate some other module is not communicating. The specified procedure will compile all the available information before tests are performed.
Step | Action | Yes | No |
