Results of the tests
0PRELIMINARY NOTESAll OKProblems metOperation
Temperature ijndication is managed by the engine control unit via a CAN line. Any faults in the electrical circuit and coolant temperature sensor are indicated by the system via activation of the engine control warning light and the indicator on the instrument panel pointing to zero.Continue to Step 1--
1COOLANT LEVEL CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the level of the coolant.Find out from the customer whether the problem has occurred previouslyCheck the fluid consists of 100% PARAFLUUse a thermometer to check fluid temperature and compare it with the temperature displayed by the gaugeContinue to Step 2Fluid too low and no traces of leaks notedRestore fluid level
100% PARAFLUDilute the PARAFLU 50%
Temperature is trueContinue to Step 2
2CHECK ON RADIATORAll OKProblems metOperation
Check the condition of the radiator. In particular, check for signs of deformation - traces of leaks - external dirt - fluid with excessive traces of rust.Continue to Step 3Radiator distortedReplace the radiator Op.    Op. 1088B20 ENGINE COOLING RADIATOR - R + R
Radiator dirtyClean the radiator Op. 1088A20
Radiator is leakingReplace the radiator Op.    Op. 1088B20 ENGINE COOLING RADIATOR - R + R
Liquid with excessive traces of rustClean the inside of the radiator and cooling circuit
3THERMOSTAT OPERATION CHECKAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the thermostat is working properlyContinue to Step 4Thermostat not workingBleed the system as per standard procedure. Replace the thermostat if the problem persists
4CHECKING FAN OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Test using an ExaminerActivate the fan in active diagnosis modeIf the fan works, ensure it comes on at the required temperatureContinue to Step 5Fan not workingActivate the fan motor directly, replace if it does not work, check the following in order if it does work: specific fuses and relays on the engine bay control unit, condition of 1st speed resistor, specific wiring continuity and insulation. Check that the control unit activates the fan speed relays. If not, replace the i.e. control unit. If it does, replace the engine bay control unit
5CHECK ON CORRECT OPERATIONAll OKProblems metOperation
Check that the fault is no longer presentEnd of diagnosisFault persists
