    B: Go to step  5

    C: Go to step  3

    A: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. On the Techstream, select the following menu items: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
    5. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Standard temperature: 

      Between 80°C and 97°C (176°F and 207°F) with warm engine. 

      Result 

      RESULT CHART

      Temperature Displayed Proceed to
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) B
      Between 80°C and 97°C (176°F and 207°F) C

      HINT:

      • If there is an open circuit, the Techstream indicates 40°C (-40°F).
      • If there is a short circuit, the Techstream indicates 140°C (284°F).

    B: Go to step  5

    C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (See  CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS   ) 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS) 
    1. Disconnect the E2 engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor connector.
    2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the ECT sensor connector on the wire harness side.
    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. On the Techstream, select the following menu items: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
    7. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Standard temperature: 

      140°C (284°F) 

    8. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO SENSOR. IF OK, REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

    NG: Go to next step

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR OPEN IN ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the E2 ECT sensor connector.
    2. Connect terminals THW and E2 of the E8 ECM connector.

      HINT:

      Before checking, perform visual and contact pressure checks on the ECM connector.

    3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    5. Turn the Techstream on.
    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
    7. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Standard temperature: 

      140°C (284°F) 

    8. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    NG: CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO ECM. IF OK, REPLACE ECM

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS) 
    1. Disconnect the E2 ECT sensor connector.
    2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
    4. Turn the Techstream on.
    5. On the Techstream, select the following menu items: Powertrain/Engine and ECT/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
    6. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      Standard temperature: 

      -40°C (-40°F) 

    7. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL )

    NG: Go to next step
