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.
Test Procedure
-- Perform a preliminary check to verify the customers complaint. Refer to PRELIMINARY CHECK
Start diagnosis
-- Disconnect the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- electrical harness connector.
-- Turn the ignition switch ON.
-- Using a multimeter, connect the red multimeter lead to terminal 3 of the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- module connector and the black lead to ground.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check for an open or grounded circuit between terminal 3 and Fuse for an open, short or high resistance in circuit (Refer to applicable wiring diagram for fuse positions).
-- Repair the circuit and replace any open fuses.
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Connect the black multimeter lead to terminal 1 of the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- harness connector and the red lead to Battery positive.
Specified value: Battery voltage.
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check for an open circuit or high resistance between Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- terminal 1 and the Engine Control Module -J623- connector terminal 52.
Checking wiring
-- Disconnect the Engine Control Module -J623- T94 electrical harness connector.
-- Disconnect the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- module T3 electrical harness connector.
-- Using a multimeter, check the Engine Control Module -J623- T94 electrical harness connector terminal 64 to the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- module T3 electrical harness connector terminal 2 for resistance.
Specified value: 1.5 Ξ© max
If the specified value was Not obtained:
-- Check the wiring connection for damage, corrosion, loose or broken terminals.
-- If necessary, repair the faulty wiring connection.
If the specified value was obtained:
-- Replace the Radiator Identification Sensor -G611- (radiator assembly). Refer to the Repair Information.
