The starter/generator control module (SGCM) temperature sensor is used for system overheat protection. The SGCM monitors the board temperature sensor for an overtemperature condition.

The engine is running.

Board temperature is greater than 120°C (248°F) for 1 second.

Board temperature is less than 120°C (248°F) for 3 seconds.

Possible engine or SGCM cooling system failure due to the following:

Control Module References for scan tool information

1. Verify the SGCM coolant pump operates.
2. Ignition ON, command the scan tool SGCM coolant pump output control ON and OFF.

⇒	If the SGCM coolant pump does not operate refer to SGCM Coolant Pump Malfunction.

3. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool SGCM temperature sensor parameters.

⇒	If only the SGCM board temperature sensor reads high, replace the SGCM.

SGCM Coolant Pump Malfunction

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the SGCM coolant pump.
2. Ignition ON, test for B+ between the B+ circuit terminal A and ground.

⇒	If less than the specified value, test the B+ circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.

3. Ignition OFF, connect a test lamp between the B+ circuit terminal A and the control circuit terminal B.
4. Ignition ON, command the SGCM Coolant Pump Relay ON and OFF with a scan tool. The test lamp should turn On and OFF when commanded.

⇒	If the test lamp does not turn ON and OFF when commanded, test the control circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the SGCM.

5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the SGCM coolant pump
