Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the B34 engine coolant temperature sensor harness connector at the sensor. It may take up to 2 minutes for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  2. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  3. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the low reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
    • If colder than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 engine control module.
  4. If the circuits test normal, test or replace the B34 engine coolant temperature sensor.
