METER / GAUGE / DISPLAY: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM (for Hatchback): Malfunction in Water Temperature Warning Light
- Malfunction in Water Temperature Warning Light

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). The meter CPU displays engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

WIRING DIAGRAM





INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM stores the DTCs. Troubleshoot the SFI System How To Proceed With Troubleshooting (from 07/2011).
