Yes you do Bill! The confusion arises because we’re not strictly talking about ‘On Board Diagnostics’ which requires interrogation by an external computer. It’s better to refer to it as the Instrument Pack Diagnostics but I’m the only one that does! Anyway, see the link which Steve has provided and it’s test number 7.0 which you need.
We understand the symptoms Bill. What we need now is for you to tell us the actual coolant temperature as you are driving and particularly when you hear the fan trigger. This is because your engine might be overheating even though you have been misled into believing that it isn’t by the useless temperature gauge. What should happen is that the fan starts running at 104 degrees and stops when the coolant temperature has fallen to 98 degrees.
You must have the air conditioning off during these tests because otherwise the fan will be triggered to cool the condenser, so ensure that the ‘Econ’ button is pressed.
So over to you Bill; some data please!
