Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?

Go to Step 2

Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information

1. Turn the ignition ON, with the engine OFF.
2. With a scan tool, observe the low coolant switch parameter in the climate control panel HVAC system data list.

Does the low coolant switch display open?

Go to Step 3

Go to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections in Wiring Systems

1. Disconnect the coolant level switch connector.
2. Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire between the coolant level switch signal circuit and the coolant level switch ground circuit, at the harness connector of the coolant level switch.

Does the low coolant switch display closed on the scan tool?

Go to Step 7

Go to Step 4

Connect a 3-amp fused jumper wire from the coolant level switch signal circuit at the coolant level switch harness connector to a good ground.

Does the low coolant switch display closed on the scan tool?
