Code 14: Coolant Temp Sensor Signal Volt Low: Notes
As the engine warms, sensor resistance becomes less and monitored voltage drops. At normal engine operating temperature, voltage will measure about 1.5-2.0 volts.
NOTE:
Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 14 will set if monitored voltage indicates a coolant temperature greater than 284°F (140°C) for .4 second or more.
- This test determines if circuit No. 410 is shorted to ground, which will cause the conditions for Code 14. If Code 14 is set, the ECM uses a default coolant value of about 120°F (49°C). However, the "Scan" tester will read the actual temperature indicated by the sensor.
