81 °C when the test is executed. Because the test time is
defined by the temperature model, it is also determined by
the model's input variables (air mass, ambient temperature).
Potential problem source(s):
- Defect in wiring harness
- Characteristic map thermostat defective
Terminal condition: none
Voltage condition:
- Electrical system voltage > 10 V
Temperature condition:
- Ambient temperature > -10 °C
- Engine temperature at start > -10 °C and < 60 °C
- Boost-air temperature > -10 °C
Time condition:
- None
Other conditions:
- Engine on
