    FAULT CODE 195


    Coolant Level Sensor Circuit - Voltage Above Normal or
    Shorted to High Source
    Overview

    CODE REASON EFFECT


    Fault Code: 195 Coolant Level Sensor Circuit - Voltage Automotive: None on
    PID: P111 Above Normal or Shorted to High Source. performance.
    SPN: 111 High signal voltage detected at engine
    FMI: 3/3 coolant level circuit. Marine: None, no engine
    LAMP: Amber protection for circuit or
    SRT: sensor failure.

    Engine Coolant Level Sensor Circuit

    Circuit Description

    The engine coolant level sensor monitors the engine coolant level within the coolant system
    and passes information to the electronic control module (ECM) through the OEM harness.

    Component Location

    The engine coolant level sensor is typically located in the radiator top tank or surge tank, for
    marine engines, it is located in the expansion tank. Refer to the OEM troubleshooting and
    repair manual for location.
