Checking the status
- Ignition on.
Check whether the fault is permanent or intermittent by reading off the signal from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Check that the signal is within its permitted range.
The fault is permanent if the signal is incorrect. The fault is intermittent if the signal is correct.
Continue - Checking the component and wiring
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the component and wiring
Check the signal cable between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A40 (#A40) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Check the ground lead between engine control module (ECM) terminal #A61 (#B3) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor terminal #2. Check for an open-circuit.
Remedy as necessary.
