Component Inspection
PROCEDURE1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN TERMINALS THW AND E2 OF ECM CONNECTOR.
- Remove glove compartment.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
- Measure voltage between terminals THW and E2 of ECM connector.
Coolant temp. Voltage
20°C (68°F) 0.5 - 3.4 volts
80°C (176°F) 0.2 - 1.0 volts
- If not OK proceed to step 2.
- If OK Check for momentary interruption.
2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
- Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
- Measure resistance between terminals.
Coolant temp. Resistance
20°C (68°F) 2 - 3 k Ohms
80°C (176°F) 0.2 - 0.4 k Ohms
- If OK proceed to step 3.
- If not OK replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
3. CHECK FOR OPEN OR SHORT IN HARNESS AND CONNECTOR BETWEEN ECM AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
- If OK Check and replace ECM.
- If not OK Repair or replace harness or connector.
