Circuit/System Testing
- Verify that debris is not blocking the airflow through the front of the grille area.
- Verify that the port of the passenger side AAT sensor is free of debris and contamination.
- Inspect the MAF/IAT sensor elements for contamination, and debris.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECT sensor.
- Inspect the ECT sensor terminals for corrosion and for engine coolant leaking through the sensor.
- Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, test for less than 5 ohms 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 ECM.
- Disconnect the ECM.
- Test the ECT signal circuit between terminal 1 and ECM connector X 1 terminal 60 for less than 5 ohms.
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a high resistance.
- If the circuits test normal, test or replace the ECT sensor.
