• Preparation
  • ECT sensor 1 connector (2P): disconnected

• Procedure
  • Jump the ECT sensor 1 connector (2P) terminals No. 1 and No. 2 with a jumper wire.
  • Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
  • Confirm the HDS [ECT Sensor 1 Voltage].

• Normal Conditions
  • HDS [ECT Sensor 1 Voltage] value is less than 4.93 V  .

Results 

• If it is normal, there is a problem with ECT sensor 1.
• If it is abnormal, there is a problem with other related components.

TW, SG2 Open Wire Inspection 

NOTICE:  

Before disconnecting the PCM connector, jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

Test Procedure 

• Preparation
  • ECT sensor 1 connector (2P): disconnected
  • PCM connector E (114P): disconnected
• Procedure
