ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE GAUGE NOT WORKING

With the ignition ON, the engine coolant temperature gauge in the instrument panel is not working;

the engine temperature signal and the engine temperature sensor failure signal is made available by the 'engine management node' at the C-CAN network; the 'body computer node' makes the message available through the gateway at the B-CAN network and then at the instrument panel.
