Component Inspection
- Check ECTS.
- Ignition "OFF".
- Disconnect ECT sensor connector.
- Measure resistance between terminals "1" and "3" of the ECT sensor connector.
- Is the measured resistance within specifications?
YES
- Go to " 2 Check PCM" as below.
NO
- Check ECT sensor for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ECT sensor and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECT sensor and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
- Check PCM.
- Ignition "OFF" & Engine "OFF".
- Connect scantool and Ignition "ON".
- Select simulation function on scantool.
- Simulate voltage at terminal "3" of ECT sensor signal connector.
- Does the signal value of ECT sensor change according to simulation voltage?
YES
- Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration damage. Repair or replace as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
NO
- Substitute with a known - good PCM and check for proper operation.
If the problem is corrected, replace PCM and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
