Inspection Procedure

HINT:

  1. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / COOLANT TEMP.
    5. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      Standard: 

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

      Result 

      DTC RESULT DESCRIPTION

      Temperature Displayed Proceed To
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or higher B
      80°C to 97°C (176°F to 207°F) C

      HINT:

      • If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).
      • If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or higher.

    B:  Go to step  4

    C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS 

    A: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  2. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS) 
    1. Disconnect the B19 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor connector.

    2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the ECT sensor connector on the wire harness side.
    3. Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    5. Turn the tester ON.
    6. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS/ ENHANCED OBD 11 / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / COOLANT TEMP.
    7. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      Standard: 

      140°C (284°F) or higher 

    8. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO SENSOR. IF OK, REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL  )

    NG: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  3. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK FOR OPEN IN ECM) 
    1. Disconnect the B19 ECT sensor connector.

    2. Connect terminals THW and E2 of the B1 ECM connector.

      HINT:

      Before checking, do visual and contact pressure checks on the ECM connector.

    3. Connect an intelligent tester to the DLC3.
    4. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    5. Turn the tester ON.
    6. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / COOLANT TEMP.
    7. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      Standard: 

      140°C (284°F) or higher 

    8. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

    NG: CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO ECM. IF OK, REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL  )

  4. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS) 
    1. Disconnect the B19 ECT sensor connector.

    3. Turn the ignition switch ON.
    4. Turn the tester ON.
    5. Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / PRIMARY / COOLANT TEMP.
    6. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      Standard: 

      -40°C (-40°F) 

    7. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

    OK: REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL  )

    NG: Go TO NEXT STEP 

  5. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (CHECK FOR SHORT IN ECM)
