Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Buick Rendezvous. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The following table illustrates the ECM connector locations:
DTC P0118
| ECM Connector Location | |
|---|---|
| C2 | C1 |
| Front of Vehicle | |
- Use the J 35616 Connector Test Adapter Kit for any test that requires probing the ECM harness connector or a component harness connector.
- Use the Temperature vs Resistance table in order to test the ECT sensor at various temperature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A skewed sensor could result in a driveability condition. If the engine has sat overnight, the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature values should display within a few degrees. If the temperatures are not within 3° C (5° F), refer to Temperature vs Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor .
- After starting the engine, the ECT should rise steadily to about 90° C (194° F) then stabilize when the thermostat opens.
- For an intermittent condition, refer to Intermittent Conditions .
