Signal Circuit Inspection
- Ignition "OFF".
- Refer to ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECTS) and disconnect Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor connector.
- Ignition "ON".
- Measure voltage between Pin No. 3 (Signal) terminal of Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: Approx. 5V
- Ignition "OFF".
- Disconnect Battery (-) terminal.
- Refer to ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECTS) and disconnect Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor connector.
- Measure resistance between Pin No. 3 (Signal) terminal of Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor harness connector and chassis ground.
Specification: ∞ (infinite) Ω
- Is the measured value within specification?
YES
- go to "Component Inspection " procedure.
NO
- Repair open or short in signal circuit between Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor and PCM and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
