Code Enable Criteria

For DTC to run, engine must be running. DTC will set when PCM detects coolant temperature is 268°F (131°C) or more. When DTC is set, PCM will disable 2 groups of 4 cylinders by turning OFF fuel injectors. By switching between 2 groups of cylinders, PCM is able to reduce coolant temperature.
