Item Description
A Opening temperature
B Fully open temperature
NOTE: Generally, most thermostats maintain a
coolant temperature between 88ºC (190ºF) and
92ºC (198ºF) although dual stage electric
thermostats may increase the coolant temperature
up to 100ºC (212ºF) under light engine load
conditions.
The engine should start cleanly and the ECT value
will rise quite quickly with smooth progression. If
the ECT signal appears unstable or erratic, the
ECT sensor, electrical connector and wiring
harness to the PCM need to be visually inspected
for damage, chafing or water ingress.
The temperature should rise to approximately 90ºC
for a thermostat that has an 88ºC value. The signal
value will then fall as cooler coolant enters the
engine.
If the ECT value fails to maintain a constant value
and falls back to lower figures, typically between
60ºC (140ºF) and 70ºC (150ºF), the thermostat
and its sealing function within the thermostat
housing must be checked.
5. INSTALL a new thermostat.
REFER to: Thermostat (303-03 Engine Cooling
- 2.0L Duratec-HE (MI4)/2.3L Duratec-HE
(MI4), Removal and Installation).
6. Carry out another road test from step 1 using
the same criteria to confirm that the concern
has been rectified.
7. Using the Ford approved diagnostic tool, clear
the PCM keep alive memory (KAM) or
electrically erasable programmable read only
memory (EEPROM) so that new drive values
can be learnt.

3. Raise and support the vehicle. 2. Fill the coolant expansion tank coolant level to
the neck of the coolant expansion tank.
Refer to: Lifting (100-02 Jacking and Lifting,
Description and Operation). 3. Start the engine.
4. 4. Raise the engine speed to 2500 RPM and
maintain it for 1 minute.
5. Check the coolant expansion tank coolant level.
6. If the coolant expansion tank coolant level has
fallen below the MIN mark, stop the engine and
refill the coolant expansion tank level to the neck
of the coolant expansion tank.
7. Install the coolant expansion tank cap.
8. Start the engine if stopped.
E65299 9. Raise the engine speed to 2500 RPM and
maintain it for approximately 11 minutes while
observing the coolant expansion tank coolant
level.
10. Maintain the engine speed at 2500 RPM for a
further 3 minutes.
11. Increase the engine speed to 4000 RPM and
maintain it for 5 seconds.
12. Decrease the engine speed to 2500 RPM and
maintain it for 3 minutes.
