Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34B Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2.
- Ignition OFF, all vehicles systems OFF. It may take up to 2 min for all vehicle systems to power down. Test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 2 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.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace K20 Engine Control Module.
- Install a 1 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the scan tool Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor parameter is at 140°C (284°F).
- If less than 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.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B34B Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2.
CAUTION:
If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit may have a short to a voltage or a short to ground and the sensor might be damaged.
