Wait 2 minutes.Ĥ) Return to the engine compartment fuse box and re-insert both 10 amp fuses for positions 16 & 23. The trouble code P0217 sets when the engine overheats. Why protect against Engine Overheating when many other things can go wrong such as low oil pressure or low. In addition it protects against Low Oil pressure, Low Coolant Levels and more. Use the engine compartment fuse block for this procedure not the instrument panel fuse block.ī) Engine Compartment Fuse Block (correct one): 16 is Powertrain Control Module A and 23 is Powertrain Control Module B.Ĭ) NOTE: Your DIC will now display “check” messages for ABS, etc… Do not worry as this is normal.ģ) Turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. MotorMonitor overcomes Engine Overheating by providing and audible and visible audible alarm with many temperature sensors.

Check the DIC for oil temp first to make sure it's not too hot.ġ) Insert key into ignition and turn to the “ON” position, but, DO NOT START THE ENGINE.Ģ) Open the engine compartment fuse box cover and remove the two 10 amp fuses from position numbers 16 & 23.Ī) According to the manual there are two fuse boxes. I checked the oil temp on the DIC and it was normal, so I knew the water wasn't that hot. A properly bled cooling system is essential and a bit of a lost art with some mechanics - especially because it's time consuming and doesn't make them any extra money really.Click to expand.Have you recently added anything to your car? I had this happen when I added my Vararam intake and also installed a skip-shift eliminator.Īfter the install, just about as soon as I started the car, the temp gauge went to maximum. It's a simple process that may not solve your problem, but can't hurt. Then you can observe your temperature gauge and see if the response has improved. When the bubbles stop, cap the radiator BEFORE you turn the vehicle off. Keep adding coolant mix to keep all radiator fins covered - just below the filler neck. Opening the cap on the radiator or a pressurized coolant reservoir could allow steam and water to blow. Your coolant passageways might be blocked. If this code is discovered, it means the engine coolant temperature is excessively high under normal engine speed. If there are small bubbles bursting, it isn't bled yet. The radiator contains hot water under high pressure. If your thermostat is working properly, there are other coolant related issues that can cause your engine to overheat. Trouble code: P0217 Engine Over Temperature. Observe the coolant in the neck of the radiator fill. this could be as much as 30 minutes or more with some vehicles. Start the vehicle and fill the radiator with the proper coolant mix. Sat for 3 hours while waiting for Ford roadside Assistance, still stuck in limp mode. Overheating an engine for a long period of time can cause internal damage to the engine. Make sure to only open the reservoir when the engine is cold.

In addition to the check engine light, you. The engine coolant is overheating if it’s around 240 to 250 degrees.This is a critical light It means your engine is beginning to overheat. Fill on the coolant reservoir if it is low. Trouble code: P0217 Engine Over Temperature. and running the engine to check if there is a coolant leak. Engine was not overheated and no visible signs of anything wrong. I would check first the possibility of a coolant leak by refilling the system with coolant.

Set the HVAC temperature to full hot, with a middle fan speed. Driving down the road 45mph, engine coolant temp warning, lost power and pulled over. Remove the radiator cap and leave it off. In general, park the car on a slope such that the front wheels are slightly higher than the rear (driving 'uphill'). Some thermostat housings have a small bleed screw to make this easier. The high boiling point ensures that the coolant. A small air pocket around the sensor can have really erratic effects on the 'gauge' temperature.Įspecially if the sensor is in the very top of a housing, where air may accumulate. Evans waterless coolants have a boiling point of over 375F, far above the operating temperature of the engine. I would make certain that the system is bled properly.
