SPN111 FMI4
Coolant Level Sensor 1 Circuit - Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source
CODES:
Fault Code: 196
PID(P), SID(S): P111
SPN: 111
FMI: 4/4
Lamp: Amber
REASON: Coolant Level Sensor 1 Circuit - Voltage Below Normal or Shorted to Low Source. Low signal voltage detected at engine coolant level circuit.
EFFECT: None on performance.
Circuit Description:
The electronic control module (ECM) provides a 5 volt supply to the engine coolant level sensor using a common sensor supply circuit. The ECM also provides a ground on the sensor return circuit. The engine coolant level sensor provides a signal to the ECM on the engine coolant level sensor SIGNAL circuit. This sensor signal voltage changes based on the coolant level in the expansion tank.
Component Location:
The engine coolant level sensor is typically located in the radiator top tank or surge tank.
Conditions for Running the Diagnostics:
This diagnostic runs continuously when the keyswitch is in the ON position.
Conditions for Setting the Fault Codes:
The ECM detects that the coolant level signal voltage is less than 0.5-VDC for more than 1 second.
Action Taken When the Fault Code is Active:
• The ECM illuminates the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately when the diagnostic runs and fails.
• No engine protection will be available for low coolant level.
Conditions for Clearing the Fault Code:
The ECM will turn off the amber CHECK ENGINE light immediately after the diagnostic runs and passes.
Shop Talk:
Possible causes of this fault code include:
• Open SIGNAL circuit in the engine harness, connectors, or sensor
• Signal circuit shorted to ground in the engine harness, connector, or sensor
• Damaged sensor.
