DTC P2184:00

DTC P2184:00	ECT sensor No. 2 circuit low input
DETECTION CONDITION	The PCM monitors the ECT sensor No. 2 signal. If the PCM detects that the ECT sensor No. 2 voltage is below 0.25 V for 5 s , the PCM determines that the ECT sensor No. 2 circuit has a malfunction. Diagnostic support note This is a continuous monitor (engine cooling system). The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available. The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE	ECT sensor No. 2 connector or terminals malfunction ECT sensor No. 2 malfunction Short to ground in wiring harness between ECT sensor No. 2 terminal A and PCM terminal 2AO PCM connector or terminals malfunction ECT sensor No. 2 signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other PCM malfunction

DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

STEP	INSPECTION		ACTION
1	VERIFY FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2)/SNAPSHOT DATA AND DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED Have the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS (engine cooling system related) been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
1		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on the repair order, then go to the next step.
2	VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the next step.
3	INSPECT ECT SENSOR NO. 2 CONNECTOR CONDITION Switch the ignition to off. Disconnect the ECT sensor No. 2 connector. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal and/or connector, then go to Step 8.
3		No	Go to the next step.
4	VERIFY PID DATA FOR ECT SENSOR NO. 2 MALFUNCTION Access the ECT2 PID using the M-MDS. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST ). Verify the ECT2 value when disconnecting ECT sensor No. 2 connector. Is the ECT2 value change? (See PCM INSPECTION ).	Yes	Replace the ECT sensor No. 2, then go to Step 8. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	INSPECT ECT SENSOR NO. 2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND ECT sensor No. 2 connector is disconnected. Switch the ignition to off. Inspect for continuity between ECT sensor No. 2 terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground. Is there continuity?	Yes	If the short to ground circuit could be detected: Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground. If the short to ground circuit could not be detected: Replace the PCM (short to ground in PCM internal circuit). (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ). Go to Step 8.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION Disconnect the PCM connector. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion). Is there any malfunction?	Yes	Repair or replace the terminal and/or connector, then go to Step 8.
6		No	Go to the next step.
7	INSPECT ECT SENSOR NO. 2 SIGNAL AND GROUND CIRCUITS FOR SHORT TO EACH OTHER ECT sensor No. 2 and PCM connectors are disconnected. Inspect for continuity between ECT sensor No. 2 terminals A and B (wiring harness-side). Is there continuity?	Yes	Repair or replace the malfunctioning wiring harness, then go to the next step.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS. (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE ). Perform the KOEO or KOER self test. (See KOEO/KOER SELF TEST ). Is the same DTC present?	Yes	Repeat the inspection from Step 1. If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM. (See PCM INSPECTION ). Go to the next step.
8		No	Go to the next step.
9	VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE Perform the "AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE". (See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE ). Are any DTCs present?	Yes	Go to the applicable DTC inspection. (See DTC TABLE ).
9		No	DTC troubleshooting completed.
