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.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION  -
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
G09074028
CAUTION:
  • Verify the malfunction symptom according to not only the PID value but also the symptom troubleshooting.
