DTC P2184-00; ECT Sensor No. 2 Circuit Low Input: Notes

DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P2184:00	ECT sensor No. 2 circuit low 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 below 0.16 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 in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM. PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available. DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	Not applicable
POSSIBLE CAUSE	ECT sensor No. 2 connector or terminals malfunction ECT sensor No. 2 malfunction PCM connector or terminals malfunction Short to ground in wiring harness between ECT sensor No. 2 terminal A and PCM terminal 2F ECT sensor No. 2 signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other PCM malfunction

CAUTION:

• Verify the malfunction symptom according to not only the PID value but also the symptom troubleshooting.
