DTC P2185-00: ECT Sensor No.2 Circuit High Input: Notes
DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE
| DTC P2185:00 |
ECT sensor No.2 circuit high input |
| DETECTION CONDITION |
- The PCM monitors the ECT sensor No.2 signal. If the PCM detects that the ECT sensor No.2 voltage at the PCM terminal 2F is above 4.92 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 check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the 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
- PCM connector or terminals malfunction
- Short to power supply in wiring harness between ECT sensor No.2 terminal A and PCM terminal 2F
- Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
- ECT sensor No.2 terminal A-PCM terminal 2F
- ECT sensor No.2 terminal B-PCM terminal 2AJ
- PCM malfunction
