SITUATION

Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated and the fault code 2F22 (Engine temperature plausibility) is stored in DME.

CAUSE

  1. Engine speed
  2. Heating output
  3. Outside temperature
  4. Warm-up phase condition

CORRECTION

  1. Check the coolant level:  Check and repair any causes for leaks. After completing repairs, pressure test the system, including the overflow cap. Top up to correct level if needed.
  2. Check the antifreeze condition:  Ensure there is a sufficient 50/50 mix.
