Coolant temp

Re: Coolant temp
If you turn your climate control to the off position in EV, the electric coolant pump remains off and will not circulate coolant. This will help keep the engine warm till you get a restart. When the engine starts, the belt driven pump will start circulating coolant again. The reason you have an electrical coolant pump is for use of the heater in EV. The electric pump will run in EV unless the switch is in any position but off.

This explains why the coolant temp decreases as quick as it does when in EV mode and I am running the heater here in Colo.
