(1) MIL Code 64 or 72.
(2) Check cooling system and thermostat if engine coolant temperature does not reach 176°F (80°C) after driving 20 minutes.
(3) Replace Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and perform TEST VER-2A.
(4) This DTC can be set by low fuel level. Ensure fuel tank is at least1/4 full and retest for DTC.
