Circuit Description
5 V Reference Regulated voltage supplied by the control module.
Serial Data Digitally encoded information for communication between devices.
Low Reference Grounded through the control module.
Component Description
Q97M Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve - Main The component is actuated by a bidirectional DC motor.
K20 Engine Control Module The control module contains a microprocessor used to process input data to control outputs. The control module controls a series of actuators to ensure optimal engine performance. The control module does this by reading values from a variety of sensors, interprets the data and adjusts the engine actuators accordingly.

To achieve the normal operating temperature faster, an actuator valve can block the coolant flow through the engine block. Conditions for Running the DTC P2B5E, P2B5F DTC U063F = Not set Ignition = On Ignition and Start Switch Signal = Greater than 11 V Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met U063F Ignition = On Ignition and Start Switch Signal = Greater than 11 V Frequency the DTC runs = Continuously — After the running conditions are met Conditions for Setting the DTC P2B5E Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve Position Sensor = Low Voltage P2B5F Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve Position Sensor = High Voltage U063F Engine Coolant Flow Control Valve Position Sensor = Lost Communication with Engine Control Module Actions Taken When the DTC Sets DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type A DTC Conditions for Clearing the DTC DTCs listed in the DTC Descriptor category = Type A DTC Reference Information Schematic Reference Engine Controls Schematics Engine Heating/Cooling Schematics Connector End View Reference Master Electrical Component List Electrical Information Reference Circuit Testing Connector Repairs Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections Wiring Repairs DTC Type Reference Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Type Definitions Scan Tool Reference Control Module References
