Signal Too Low. Permanent Fault

Signal too low. Permanent fault

Checking components and wiring








- Check the resistance of the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Take readings between sensor terminals #1 and #2
- Check the signal cable between climate control module terminal #B5 and damper motor terminal #2 for a short-circuit to ground
- Remedy as necessary.

Continue - Verification

-------------------------------------------------

Verification

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.




- Ignition off
- Reinstall the connectors, components etc.
- Engine running
- Read off the engine coolant temperature (ECT).
The fault has been remedied if the engine coolant temperature (ECT) is OK.





Is the temperature reading OK?

Yes - FAULT FOUND

No - Fault-tracing information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit fault-tracing

No - Attempt New Test
