  2. Inspect the ECT sensor terminals for corrosion and for engine coolant leaking through the sensor.
  3. Use the scan tool to verify the proper operation of the engine cooling fans.
  4. Turn OFF the ignition.
  5. Inspect the cooling system surge tank for the proper engine coolant level. Refer to Cooling System Leak Testing and Draining and Filling Cooling System (Static Fill) or Draining and Filling Cooling System (Vac N Fill) .
