Component Inspection

  1. Check ECTS
    1. IG "OFF" and disconnect ECTS connector.
    2. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of ECTS connector. (Component side)

      SPECIFICATION : 

      TEMPERATURE AND RESISTANCE SPECIFICATION

      Temp. (°C/°F) Resistance (kΩ) Temp. (°C/°F) Resistance (kΩ)
      -40 (-40) 48.14 40 (104) 1.15
      -20 (-4) 14.13 ~ 16.83 60 (140) 0.59
      0 (32) 5.79 80 (176) 0.32
      20 (68) 2.31 ~ 2.59    
    3. Is the measured resistance within specification?

    YES 

    • Go to  2 "Check PCM" as follows.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known-good ECTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECTS and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.
  2. Check PCM
    1. IG "OFF" and connect scantool.
    2. Connect probe to terminal 3 of ECTS harness connector.
    3. IG "ON" and ENG "OFF" and simulation Function on scantool.
    4. Simulate voltage at terminal 3 of ECTS harness connector.

    5. Does the signal value of ECT sensor change according to simulation voltage ?

    YES 

    • Thoroughly check connectors for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or 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.
    NOTE: There is a memory reset function on scantool that can erase optional parts automatically detected and memorized by PCM.
    NOTE: Before or after testing PCM on the vehicle, use this function to reuse the PCM on the others.
