Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Notes On Intermittents
Manipulate circuits No. 472 and 476 wiring, MAT connector, and ECM connector while observing ECM parameter ED05. If failure is induced, MAT will jump from its normal value to open signal circuit reading of -35°C to -40°C. If wiring and connectors are okay, substitute a known good sensor and re-test.
Review snapshot data parameters stored with this code to verify failure. If failure is verified, check and repair intermittent wiring connections or sensor.
