- Start and run the engine.
- Run the engine through its operating range with no-load for approximately five minutes, allowing the engine coolant to reach normal operating range.
- If the engine coolant temperature is 82-105°C (180-221°F), no further troubleshooting is required. Shut down the engine.
- If the engine coolant temperature is not 82-105°C (180-221°F), shut down the engine. Check radiator coolant flow; refer to "14.10 Abnormal Radiator Coolant Flow" .
