| 2075140/2 | 2025-03-27. Service bulletin. Engine cooling system over cooling - One or a combination of DTC's may be evident P218100 - P1BB400. |
| 2075140/1 | 2024-10-04. Service bulletin. Engine cooling system over cooling - One or a combination of DTC's may be evident P218100 - P1BB400. Customer statement / workshop findings: • DTC P218100 - Cooling System Performance and / or DTC P1BB400 Cylinder head temperature too low is stored in the Engine Control Module (ECM). • Emission Control Lamp illuminated on the Driver Instrument Panel. |
| 2060205/7 | 2024-09-10. Service bulletin. Engine Cooling System over cooling - DTC P218100 - V8 Kovomo. Technical background It is possible for the engine coolant Thermostat to corrode over time, this corrosion is due to an adverse reaction of the Thermostat material with the engine coolant. The corrosion and subsequent build-up of debris prevents the correct operation of the thermostat when closing, resulting in over cooling. The ECM triggers a DTC when the target engine temperature is outside of the specified parameter. |
