Abstract
A control method of a coolant control valve unit that rotates a cam using torque of a motor and allowing a profile formed on the cam to push a rod to allow the valve formed on the rod to open/close a coolant passage, including steps of: rotating the cam by operating the motor; detecting a rotation position of the cam; determining a stuck state in which the cam or the motor is not rotated while the motor is operated; and performing an escape mode in which if it is determined that the cam or the motor is in the stuck state, the motor outputs a predetermined torque to the cam side in a predetermined rotation direction to escape the cam from the stuck state.
