*Opens the fuse that supplies voltage to the engine coolant thermostat |
The engine control module (ECM) controls the pulse width modulated (PWM) thermostat. The thermostat controls coolant flow and regulates the engine operating temperature. Ignition voltage is supplied directly to the thermostat. The ECM controls the thermostat by grounding the control circuit with a solid state device called a driver. The driver is equipped with a feedback circuit that is pulled-up to a voltage. The ECM can determine if the control circuit is open, shorted to ground, or shorted to a voltage by monitoring the feedback voltage.
• | The ignition is ON or the engine is running. |
• | The DTCs run continuously once the above condition is met |
The ECM detects that the commanded state of the driver and the actual state of the control circuit do not match for greater than 15 seconds.
• | DTCs P0597, P0598, and P0599 are Type B DTCs. |
• | The engine control module commands the engine cooling fans ON. |
DTCs P0597, P0598, and P0599 are Type B DTCs.
The thermostat has a mechanical fail-safe in case of an electrical condition with the thermostat heater. The mechanical thermostat will open at approximately 80°C (176°F). The mechanical thermostat will cycle from approximately 85°C (185°F) to approximately 102°C (215°F).

⇒ | If a DTC is set, refer to DTC P0685, P0689, P0690, or P1682 . |
• | Engine Coolant Thermostat Heater Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status |
• | Engine Coolant Thermostat Heater Control Circuit Open Test Status |
• | Engine Coolant Thermostat Heater Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status |
Each parameter should display OK or Not Run. |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition circuit and replace as necessary. |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connections test normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the control circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM. |
⇒ | If the circuit voltage does not correspond to the specified values, replace the K20 ECM. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
