Some customers may experience the CHECK ENGINE light ON with DTC P0126:00 (Thermostat stuck open) and one or more of the following symptoms:
* The engine takes longer to warm up
* The engine temperature gauge fluctuates
* The low coolant temperature indicator (blue) light stays on longer or comes on while driving
* Poor heater performance, especially at idle
NOTE:
* Vehicles with SKYACTIV-G 2.5T are not applicable.
* If DTC P2B61:00 (Coolant control valve circuit range/performance) accompanies, this information is not applicable. Diagnose according to the instructions in MGSS.
Due to production variety of the failsafe thermostat integrated in the coolant control valve, engine coolant may enter into a dry hollow in the failsafe thermostat, resulting in unintended opening of the failsafe thermostat at lower temperatures (104-176 �°F (40-80 �°C)). To eliminate this concern, the production process of the coolant control valve has been modified.
