Logic Flow Chart






Check Condition

- Battery positive voltage is higher than 11 volts.
- Intake air temp from 0° C(32°F) to 40° C(104°F).
- Engine coolant temperature is less than 40° C(104°F) at engine start.
- The engine coolant temperature - intake air temperature is 5°C (41°F) or less when at engine start.
- Engine coolant temperature is higher than 77°C (171°F).
Judgement Criteria

- When the output temperature of the radiator sensor after the thermostat valve is opened is rising by 6°C (43°F) or more in 1 second.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19 Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes .

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (THE MOST LIKELY CAUSES FOR THIS CODE TO BE SET ARE:)

- Tampering of the DOR radiator

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

- MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)
- MB991824: V.C.I.
- MB991827: USB Cable
- MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. DOR radiator sensor installation check

- Check that the sensor is installed securely and operates normally.

Q. Is the check result normal?

YES Go to Step 2.
NO Replace the DOR radiator. Then go to Step 3.
STEP 2. Replace the DOR radiator

(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19 Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

(2)Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q. Is DTC P1545 set?

YES Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 3.
NO The procedure is complete.
STEP 3. Perform the OBD-II drive cycle.

(1)Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to Diagnostic Function - OBD-II Drive Cycle - Pattern 19 Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes.

(2)Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).

Q. Is DTC P1545 set?

YES Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO The procedure is complete.
