Operation

• When the engine coolant temperature reaches 79.5—83.3 °C {175.2—181.9 °F}, the valve starts opening to allow engine coolant to flow from the radiator stabilizing the engine coolant temperature. The valve fully opens when the engine coolant temperature reaches approx. 94.5 °C {202.1 °F}.
