Monitor Scantool Data

  1. Start engine to normal operating temperature and monitor the "ECT SENSOR" parameter on scantool.
  2. After the engine has started, Check that ECT rises steadily to about 90°C (194°F) and ECT stabilizes when the thermostat opens.
    1. Specification: ECT rises steadily to about 90°C (194°F) and ECT stabilizes when the thermostat opens.

  3. Is ECT sensor's signal near the specified value?

    YES

    1. Fault is intermittent caused by poor contact in the sensor's and/or ECM's connector.
    2. Fault was repaired and ECM memory was not cleared.
    3. If the problem works out, Go to "VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE REPAIR " procedure.

    NO

    1. Go to "Inspection & Repair" procedure.
    CAUTION: Scantool Function Information:
    1. Service Data: Scantool provides one parameters for IAT sensor.
