When Monitored:
Ignition on, Engine running, and no ECT DTCs present.
Set Condition:
PCM recognizes that the ECT has failed its self coherence test. The coolanttemp should only change at a
certain rate, if this rate is too slow or too fast this fault will set. Two trip fault. Three good trips to clear MIL.
ETC light will illuminate on first trip failure.

Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could
be the cause of this DTC.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
Diagnose all other ECT and Cooling System codes before continuing.

No>>
Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2.LOW COOLANT LEVEL
NOTE: If a Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code,diagnose the ECT DTC first.
NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion
and damage.
NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have
a totally cold soaked engine.
NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTCtoset.
NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up
much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can
set this DTC.
WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system isunder pressure. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the
cooling system.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
CHARGE AIR COOLER SYSTEM - LEAKS
Low turbocharger boost pressure and low engine per-
formance can be caused by leaks in the charge air
cooler or plumbing. Fuel staining on the exhaust man-
ifold can also be an indication that there are leaks in
the air system. The followingprocedure outlines how
to check for leaks in the charge air cooler system.
This procedure can also be used to check for leaks in
the wastegate signal line or the wastegate canister.
1. Loosen clamp and remove air inlet hose from tur-
bocharger.
2. Insert Special Tool 9022 Adapter into the turbo-
charger inlet. Tighten tool clamp to 8 Nꞏm (72 in.
lbs.).
CAUTION: Do not apply more than 138 kPa (20
psi) air pressure to the charge air cooler system,
severe damage to the charge air cooler system
may occur.
3. Connect a regulated air supply to air fitting on Tool
9022 Adapter. Set air pressure to a Maximum of
138 kPa (20 psi).
4. Using soapy water check the rubber sleeves, charge air cooler and intakemanifold for leaks.
5. Using soapy water check for leaks at the wastegate signal line, wastegate canister and wastegate command
valve.
REMOVAL
WARNING: IF THE ENGINE WAS JUST TURNED
OFF, THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TUBES MAY BE
HOT.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cables.
2. Discharge the A/C system (Refer to 24 - HEATING
& AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD
PROCEDURE) and remove the A/C condenser
(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/
PLUMBING/A/C CONDENSER - REMOVAL) (if A/C
equipped).
3. Remove the transmission auxiliary cooler (Refer to
7 - COOLING/TRANSMISSION/TRANS COOLER -
REMOVAL).
4. Remove intake air tubing from the charge air
cooler.
5. Remove the charge air cooler bolts. Pivot the
charge air cooler forward and up to remove.

2. Install the air intake system tubes to the charge air
cooler. With the clamps in position, tighten the
clamps to 11 Nꞏm (95 in. lbs.) torque.
3. Install the transmission auxiliary cooler (if
equipped) (Refer to 7 - COOLING/TRANSMIS-
SION/TRANS COOLER - INSTALLATION).
4. Install the A/C condenser (if A/C equipped) (Refer
to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMB-
ING/A/C CONDENSER - INSTALLATION).
Recharge A/C system (Refer to 24 - HEATING &
AIR CONDITIONING/PLUMBING - STANDARD
PROCEDURE).
5. Connect the battery negative cables.
6. Start engine and check for boost system leaks.
