P0597


The coolant thermostat has an electrical fault or open circuit.


Possible cause:

- Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve)
- N10/1kC (Circuit 87 relay, engine)
- N10/1f23 (Fuse 23)
- Voltage supply via component Z7/36 (Circuit 87 M2e connector sleeve)
Affected functions:

- Heating
- Engine cooling

-------------------------------------------------

Test 1: Arrangement of fuses

Test 2: Power supply

Test 3: Check component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve).

3. Check component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve).

Test 3.1: Component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) is mechanically damaged or it sticks.

Test 3.2: Test current consumption of component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve).

3.1. Component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) is mechanically damaged or it sticks.

Test 3.1.1: Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) : Coolant temperature is not reached.

Test 3.1.2: Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) : Coolant temperature is too high.

3.1.1. Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) : Coolant temperature is not reached.
Warning!Communication with ECU required.


3.1.2. Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve) : Coolant temperature is too high.
Warning!Communication with ECU required.


3.2. Test current consumption of component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve).

Continue to test with button F2







Test sequence

- Measure direct current with multimeter between sockets [F.4] 100 and [M.52] 52 of the 126-pole socket box tester.
- Switch on ignition.
Specified value

- Amperage[0.6...1.2] A
Question

- Is the measurement value OK?


YES
The measurement value is OK.End of test

NO
The measurement value is not OK.Possible cause and remedy

- N10/1f23 (Fuse 23)
- N10/1kC (Circuit 87 relay, engine)
- Check lines from component N3/10 (ME-SFI [ME] control unit) to component Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve).
- Y110 (Three-disk thermostat valve)
