  • Any of the following conditions is met after the ignition is switched ON*1 :
    • The ECT sensor No. 2 detected temperature is approx. 25.0 °C {45.0 °F}  higher than the ECT sensor No. 1.
    • The ECT sensor No. 2 detected temperature is approx. -48.0 °C {-54.0 °F}  .
    • The ECT sensor No. 2 detected temperature is approx. 28 °C {50 °F}  higher than the ECT sensor No. 1 when the intake air temperature is 15 °C {59 °F} or more *2  .

*1 : Ignition switch is ON when 6 h  or more have passed since the ignition was switched off.
*2 : Perform determination according to the intake air temperature conditions when the calculated intake air amount exceeds 5.000 g {176.4 oz}  (difference between ECT sensors No. 1 and No. 2 is determined engine coolant temperature value at engine start).
