Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF for 90 seconds, disconnect the harness connector at the ECT sensor.
- Test for less than 5 ohms between the low reference circuit terminal 1 and ground.
- If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Ignition ON, verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is colder than -39°C (-38°F).
- If warmer than the specified range, test the signal circuit terminal 2 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- Install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 2 and the low reference circuit terminal 1. Verify the scan tool ECT Sensor parameter is warmer than 149°C (300°F).
- If colder than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
- If the circuits test normal, test or replace the ECT sensor.
