Mountaineer 2WD V8-302 5.0L VIN P SFI (2000)
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
This warning message is displayed when the engine coolant is overheating.
The message center indicator senses the voltage level on Circuit 39 (RD/WH) (to the message center indicator).
If that voltage is greater than approximately 2.7 volts, at a battery voltage of 13.5 volts there will be no warning. If it is less than approximately 2.7 volts
, at a battery voltage of 13.5 volts then the warning will be displayed.
The message center indicator filters this input; therefore, there will be a few seconds delay before the warning is displayed or removed.
