ECU 000109.18 (ECU 109.18)
Code: 000109.18
Shortcode: 109.18
Description:
This code, ECU 000109.18, indicates a moderate deviation of coolant pressure from the desired range. Such a condition can indicate more significant issues like a failing coolant pump, substantial leaks, or blockages in the coolant system.
Reaction:
Moderate drops in coolant pressure can lead to inadequate cooling of the engine, which might increase the risk of overheating and engine damage.
Recommendations:
- Comprehensive System Inspection: Thoroughly inspect all components of the coolant system, including the radiator, hoses, and pump.
- Pressure Test for Diagnosis: Conduct a detailed pressure test to identify any drop in pressure and pinpoint leaks or faults.
- Resolve Cooling System Issues: Repair or replace any defective parts found during the inspection.
- System Reevaluation Post-Repair: After making necessary repairs, reevaluate the entire cooling system to ensure it meets the operational specifications.
Note:
Preventative maintenance and early detection of symptoms can significantly reduce the risk of engine overheating and related failures.
