Methods and systems are provided for a vehicle coolant circuit. In one example, the coolant circuit includes a heater core isolation valve (HCIV) where a status of the HCIV may be diagnosed by intrusively activating a positive temperature coefficient heater in a cooling loop in which the HCIV is arranged. A response of coolant temperature to heater activation may be used to determine a position of the HCIV.
