WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Kia Rio. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ignition "OFF"
  2. Disconnect ECTS connector
  3. Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of the sensor connector (Component side)
    1. Specification:
      Fig 1: Measuring Resistance Between Terminals 1 And 3 Of Sensor Connector (Component Side)
      G07331568
      RESISTANCE REFERENCE CHART

      Temp. (°C) Temp. (°F) Resistance (kΩ)
      -20 -4 13.24~16.83
      20 68 2.27~2.64
      80 176 0.207~0.429
  4. Is resistance within the specification?

    YES

    1. Check for poor connection between ECM and component: backed out terminal, improper mating, broken locks or poor terminal to wire connection. Repair as necessary and go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure

    NO

    1. Check ECTS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ECTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECTS and then go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure
