Checking the wiring and component: Notes

WARNING:

Before fault-tracing can begin, the engine cooling fan (FC) connector must be disconnected to prevent the engine cooling fan (FC) engaging. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-6120 Engine cooling fan (FC) control module may be stored. After fault-tracing the connector must  be reconnected.

Check the resistance of the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.

Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A4 (#A4) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground.

Remedy as necessary.
