If there are complaints about the illumination of the coolant temperature warning light on the above mentioned vehicles, the coolant temperature sensor is to be considered as a possible source of the fault.
The fault code: P0116 may be logged.
A crack in the measuring element of the coolant temperature sensor may be responsible for the fault, or an incorrect coolant temperature sensor may have been fitted.
Note:
[The coolant temperature sensor is to be checked for the correct specification [(type identifier) marking (*96566364* manufacturer Valeo)].
If the measured values are incorrect
(see Technical data / page 2.)
a new, modified coolant temperature
sensor must be fitted to rectify the fault.
Coolant temperature sensor:
Service part number (ET): ET no.: 1338.F8
