The controlling of the coolant flow helps manage temperature throughout the cooling system.
The water pump can be shut off if the following conditions exist:
- Engine speed is not achieved
- The fuel injection quantity in not achieved
- Intake air temperature is not reached
- Coolant temperature is not reached
- The A/C control unit does not request the heating mode
