If the valve opens when jumped, it's working properly.

Another somewhat common cause of this fault is a dirty switch at the tranny. This gets exposed to mud, water, dirt and can become inoperable - usually accompanied by an inability to operate the tranny in manual mode. You can pull the switch and clean it up, fairly simple DIY.

Cheers!
Ive got the same flashing D and 4 lights, Where is this tranny switch located to check it?

And which pins need shorting to operate the coolant valve to check that?

Thanks
