Service bulletin M170115
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
"Engine Cranks, No Start and/or Engine Coolant Temperature Faults. 1 The engine either exhibits a crank, no start or a hard start (long crank), usually on a cold engine. No faults are stored in the DME. Proceed to Correction 1 for further diagnosis. 2 NOTE: The engine may also exhibit the same starting behavior as in Situation1. The Service Engine Soon lamp is illuminated, with one or more of the following fault codes stored in the DME: Engine temperature sensor faults ? 2943 Coolant temperature sensor, signal change too fast ? 2937 Coolant temperature sensor, electrical: short circuit to positive ? 2936 Coolant temperature sensor, electrical: short circuit to earth ? 293A Coolant temperature sensor, plausibility, cold start: temperature too high ? 293B Coolant-temperature sensor, plausibility, cold start: Temperature too low ? 2947 Coolant-temperature sensor, signal: Fixed on low ? 2948 Coolant-temperature sensor, signal: Fixed ? 3393 Engine downtime, plausibility: Time too long in correlation with engine coolant cooling down ? 3392 Engine downtime, plausibility: Time too short in correlation with engine coolant cooling downIf any of the above fault codes are stored, proceed to Correction 2. Engine thermostat faults: ? 348E Characteristic map thermostat, actuation: Short circuit to positive ? 348F Characteristic map thermostat, actuation: Short circuit to earth ? 3490 Characteristic map thermostat, actuation: Open circuit If any of the above fault codes are stored then proceed to Correction 2: The above fault codes for the engine temperature sensor and thermostat are the primary fault codes for turning the Service Engine Soon light on. 1. Poor solder contacts in the engine coolant temperature sensor integrated into the engine thermostat housing 2. A faulty external or replaceable engine coolant temperature sensor (see below for identifying production changes in the thermostat and engine temperature sensors) 3. A faulty map-contro

| M170912 | 2019-07-12. Service bulletin. "Service Action: Retrofit of the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. Internal corrosion could form in the engine coolant temperature sensor. This corrosion leads to internal bridging of the contacts, which can cause an inaccurate engine temperature reading. This false reading could lead to difficulty in the engine starting and/or a ""Service Engine Soon"" lamp being illuminated." |

The Service Engine Soon (MIL) lamp is illuminated and/or the customer complains that the engine runs rough (engine cold or warm) with any of the following misfire faults stored in the DME: * 2771, 2772, 2773, 2775, 2776, 2777, 2779, 277A, 277B, 277D, 277E, 277F - "Combustion misfire, cylinder 1..4", sometimes together with: * 2781, 2782, 2783 - "Combustion misfire, multiple cylinders." On rare occasions, the Service Engine Soon lamp may not be illuminated (with misfire faults still stored in the DME) when the vehicle is brought to the workshop. Multiple causes related to electrical and mechanical engine components, or poor fuel quality in combination with unfavorable driving behavior (low loads and short driving distances). This condition may lead to possible clogging of the injector tips, causing a disturbance of the fuel spraying pattern or excessive carbon deposits on the intake valves/ports, resulting in reduced air flow into the combustion chambers." |
