Hva betyr feilkoden?
The engine control module (ECM) has registered that the control signal to the relay for engine coolant heater 2 is too low. The relay switches the electric coolant heater in the cooling system. The code is most often caused by an open circuit or a short to ground in the wire, but a defective relay can also set it.
Mulige årsaker
- Open circuit in the control wire to the relay for coolant heater 2
- Control wire short-circuited to ground
- Defective relay for engine coolant heater 2
