Fault Code 151: Coolant Temperature - Engine Protection
This document provides information about fault code 151 related to high coolant temperature in an engine. It describes the reason for the fault as coolant temperature above 219 degrees Fahrenheit, and the effect as progressive power and speed reduction or engine shutdown. It also gives the sensor location and recommends ensuring clear radiator airflow.
signal pin 17 of the sensor harness connector indicates the coolant temperature is above 104C [219F].
Progressive power and speed derate with
increasing time after alert. If Engine Protection Shutdown is enabled, the engine will shut down 30 seconds after the engine protection lamp or the Red lamp* starts flashing.
Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit
Circuit Description: The coolant temperature sensor is used by the electronic control module (ECM) to monitor the temperature of the engine coolant. The coolant temperature is used by the ECM for the engine protection system, and the timing and fueling control. Component Location: M11 - The coolant temperature sensor is located in the front of the thermostat housing support on most M11 applications. On bus applications, the sensor will usually be located at the rear on the thermostat housing support. N14 - The coolant temperature sensor is located on the top of the thermostat housing. Shop Talk: Make sure the airflow through the radiator is not obstructed. * Applies to 98N14 and 98M11 calibrations only.
