Function Explanation (DTC Detection Outline)

•  The PCM adjusts the engine coolant flow volume by opening/closing the coolant switching valve according to the engine conditions.
•  The PCM measures the pressure using the water pressure sensor installed upstream of the coolant switching valve.
•  When the coolant switching valve is closed while the engine is running, the water flow is cut off momentarily and the pressure upstream of the coolant switching valve fluctuates.
•  If the water pressure sensor pressure does not fluctuate even though the PCM requests the coolant switching valve to open during cold temperatures, the PCM determines that the coolant switching valve is stuck and stores a DTC.

Repeatability Verification Procedure

1.  Start the engine and allow the engine coolant temperature to reach 20 °C {68 °F} or more.

2.  Shift to the N position (ATX)/N position (MTX) and maintain the engine speed at 4,000 rpm or more for 1 s or more.

3.  Maintain the engine speed between 2,500 and 3,000 rpm for 1 min.

PID item
―  ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_ACT
Simulation item
―  ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_DUTY
•  Perform the following:
1.  Change the simulation item ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_DUTY between 0% and 100%.
2.  Verify that the ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_ACT monitor value conforms to the simulation item ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_DUTY.
•  Does the monitor value of the PID item ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_ACT conform to the ENG_COOL_VLV_POS_DUTY monitor value?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Go to Troubleshooting Diagnostic Procedure to perform the procedure from Step 1.
