Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 V to the ECT sensor signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the performance of the ECT sensor. If the ECM detects excessive noise fluctuations in the ECT signal, this DTC sets.
