ECA 70 - No Code (Coolant Temperature Switch)

  1. Check continuity across coolant temperature switch (mounted in radiator). With engine cold, continuity should exist. With radiator temperature above 62.6°F (17°C), switch should open (no continuity). If switch continuity is incorrect, replace switch.
  2. Check continuity between switch Black wire terminal and ground. If continuity does not exist, repair switch ground circuit.
  3. Check voltage at ECA terminal 1L. With engine cold, voltage should read 12-14 volts. With engine warm, voltage should read 0-2.5 volts. If voltage readings are incorrect, check for opens or shorts in wiring between Light Green wire terminal and ECA terminal 1L. Repair as necessary. Go to ECA 73  .
