Coolant temperature warning in IC DTCs P0A9300,

Topic number

Version

Function group

20.00 General

Date

07-13-2020

Validity

All vehicles with M256 engine produced as of 07/2019
and up to 02/2020

Reason for change
Reason for block

Complaint:

Engine temperature warning displays in the Instrument Cluster. Workshops find fault codes triggered in various control modules

Cause:

Low Temperature Cooling (LTC) circuits temperature sensors B11/6 and B11/7 might have swapped electrical
connector connections

Remedy:

In related cases, proceed with the following:
1. Check both high and low temperature cooling circuits for any leaks, line kinks, air packets and operation of the cooling system including LTC M43/6 and M43/7 pumps and other components
2. Check all related electrical connections, wiring and grounds such as W2, W2/2, W6, W11 (/2, /3), W16/3 (/4),
W30/11, W104 (/1) W106(/1) and 48V system grounds
3. Process the fault codes (update any related control module software if available)
4. if above do not reveal any potential issues, check connections of the Low Temperature Cooling (LTC) circuits temperature sensors B11/6 (NT1) and B11/7 (NT2). Both LTC temperature sensors are located behind the right front
bumper area (refer to illustrations in the attachments) of the vehicle.
Checked connections as follows:
a) locate temperature sensor B11/6 (NT1) - sensor close to the LTC coolant pump M43/6 refer to attachments for illustration. The NT1 sensor connector should have two wires attached (Red/Black + Brown/Yellow).
b) disconnect the B11/6 (NT1) connector from the temperature sensor
c) if the disconnection results in triggering the fault code P00E112 in the engine control module - ME (MRG1), the
connection to the NT1 temperature sensor is correct. If disconnecting NT1 sensor results in DTC P0C4500 in the CPC_NG control module the connection to the NT1 temperature sensor is incorrect.
5. if connections to NT1 and NT2 are found to be incorrect, ensure correct connections by swapping connectors and
try to duplicate the original symptom. If no problem found, release the vehicle. Otherwise if symptom still exists or original symptom occurs with correct NT1 and NT2 connections, open a PTSS and all information, findings and illustrations.
