5.5 Low Coolant Shutdown
See Graphic: wc_gr001708
The low-coolant shutdown system consists of an electronic sensor that
monitors coolant level. The sensor (a) is mounted to the radiator and
wired into the ECM. The sensor probe (b) is submerged in radiator
coolant. If the probe senses no coolant, it sends a signal to the ECM.
The ECM program includes a 10-second timer to protect from
nuisance shutdowns. If after the ten seconds coolant levels are still
sensed as being low, the ECM shuts down the engine. The ECM will
then display the “FAULT LOW WATER LEVEL”. Allow the engine to
cool before adding additional coolant.
NEVER remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot! Pressurized
coolant can cause serious burns.
If it is necessary to open the radiator, only do so with the engine off,
and only when coolant is cool enough to touch with bare hands. Slowly
loosen the radiator cap to relieve pressure first, before removing it
completely.
Note: The sensor may be disabled by unplugging the wire harness.
This action will not shut down the machine.
