Warning Message "Coolant Temperature Too High": Checking Coolant Pump and
Change-Over Valve (173/21)
Model Line:
Panamera (971)
Model Year:
As of 2017
Concerns:
Change-over valve for coolant pump
Information:
The customer complains about a warning message 'Coolant temperature too high'. A faulty coolant
pump is detected as the cause. Internal tests have shown that in some cases, the cause of a faulty
coolant pump is due to a faulty change-over valve in the coolant pump.
Action required: If the coolant pump is faulty or leaking, also check the change-over valve for the coolant pump and
replace it if necessary.
