Component Inspection

■ Check ECTS Resistance 

  1. IG KEY "OFF".
  2. Disconnect ECTS connector.
  3. Measure resistance between signal and ground terminal of ECTS connector (Component Side).

    Specification: 

    Temperature [°C (°F) ] Resistance [kΩ]
    -40 (-40) 48.14
    -20 (-4) 14.13~16.83
    0 (32) 5.79
    20 (68) 2.31~2.59
    40 (104) 1.15
    60 (140) 0.59
    80 (176) 0.32
  4. Is the measured resistance within specification?

    YES 

    • Many malfunctions in the electrical system are caused by poor harness (es) and terminals. Faults can also be caused by interference from other electrical systems, and mechanical or chemical damage. So, check poor connections and the related circuit between ECM/PCM and component thoroughly. Repair as necessary and go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair " procedure.

    NO 

    • Substitute with a known - good ECTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECTS and go to "Verification Of Vehicle Repair " procedure.
