Circuit/System Testing
IMPORTANT:
All electrical components and accessories must be turned OFF and allowed to power down.
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the ECT harness connector at the ECT sensor.
- Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit terminal Band ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is less than -39°C (-38°F).
- If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal A for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal A and the low reference circuit terminal B Verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is greater than 149°C (300°F).
- If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ECT sensor.
