The engine coolant temperature gauge will display full cold when an ECT DTC sets.
After starting the engine, the engine coolant temperature sensor temperature should rise steadily, then stabilize after the thermostat opens.
Test the engine coolant temperature sensor at various temperature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A skewed sensor can result in a driveability condition.
