The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI.

Condition/Concern:

Some customers may experience a "low coolant" level message on the DIC at times. The 2007 Full Size Trucks and Utilities are not equipped with a low coolant level sensor. The "low coolant" level message may appear due to a software anomaly with the manual HVAC control head (RPO CJ3)

Recommendation/Instructions:

Please do not replace the Instrument Panel Cluster or HVAC control head to resolve this concern. To correct this concern, reprogram the HVAC control head with updated calibrations. This new service calibration was released with TIS satellite data update version 6.0 available May 30, 2006. As always, make sure your Tech 2® is updated with the latest software version.

If the vehicle is equipped with a auto hvac control head ( RPO CJ2 ), remove the hvac battery fuse ( #38 ) at the underhood buss electrical center for 1 minute and re-install and the concern should not return.

Note: This doesn't apply to vehicles equipped with a Diesel Engine ( RPO LMM)

Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
