Circuit Description
The auxiliary coolant bypass pump provides additional coolant flow for the heater core. The operating temperature range of the auxiliary coolant bypass pump is between 2°C (36°F) and 8°C (47°F). The auxiliary coolant bypass pump is powered by ignition voltage through the auxiliary coolant bypass pump switch. The ground is provided by the ground circuit.
