ABSTRACT:
A coolant temperature of coolant in a circulation line system is measured through a coolant temperature sensor and is controlled by controlling a flow rate control valve. The flow rate control valve is diagnosed to determine whether abnormality of the flow rate control valve exists based on behavior of the measured coolant temperature, which is measured through the coolant temperature sensor during a warm-up period of an internal combustion engine.
