Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 ECT sensor.
  2. Ignition OFF for 90 s, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal A and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  3. Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal B for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.
  4. Install a 3 A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal B and the low reference circuit terminal A. Verify the scan tool ECT 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 K20 ECM.
  5. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B34 ECT sensor.
  6. Inspect for the proper operation of the OEM block heater cord by verifying that the thermostat has turned OFF the heater at temperatures warmer than -10° (+14°F).
