Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

If other DTCs relating to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
Read freeze frame data using an intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air / fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE)

Connect the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool ON.
On the intelligent tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / COOLANT TEMP.

Read the value using the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool.

OK: Standard: 80° to 97°C (176° to 207°F) with warm engine.

RESULT REFERENCE

Temperature Displayed	Proceed to
-40°C (-40°F)	A
140°C (284°F) or more	B
OK (Same as the actual engine coolant temperature)	C

HINT:

If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester or the OBD II scan tool indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.

C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS

A: Go to Next Step

READ VALUE OF INTELLIGENT TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS)
1. Disconnect the E2 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor connector.
2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the ECT sensor connector on the wire harness side.
3. Connect the intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
6. On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / COOLANT TEMP.
7. Read the value displayed on the tester.
8. If using an OBD II scan tool, refer to the instruction information.
  Standard: 140°C (284°F) or higher
9. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.
OK: REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER

1. Confirm good connection of the ECM.
2. Disconnect the E2 ECT sensor connector.
3. Connect terminals THW and E2 of the E3 ECM connector.
  HINT:
  
  Before checking, do visual and contact pressure checks on the ECM connector.
4. Connect the intelligent tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
6. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
7. On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / COOLANT TEMP.
8. Read the value displayed on the tester.
9. If using an OBD II scan tool, refer to the instruction information.
  Standard: 140°C (284°F) or higher
10. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.
OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
