Circuit/System Verification
- Observe the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor parameter with a scan tool while moving the ECT sensor connector and the engine control module (ECM) connector. The ECT sensor parameter should not fluctuate while moving the related harnesses and connectors.
- Repair the suspected harness or connection if the ECT parameter fluctuates more than 3°C (5°F) while moving the related harnesses and connectors.
- Inspect the engine coolant level. Verify that the cooling system is operating correctly.
- Operate the vehicle within the conditions for running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. DTC P0119 should not set.
