  2. Ignition ON, observe the scan tool EGT Sensor 1 and 2 parameters. The readings should be between -40 to +999Β°C (-38 to +1,830Β°F) depending on the current ambient temperature and the vehicle operating conditions
  3. 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 data.
