WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0A03 - MOTOR ELECTRONICS COOLANT TEMPERATURE (MECT) SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH
| Description: | An open circuit on this input or a short to VREF, produces a high voltage (approximately 5 volts) to the PCM. The PCM activates the high speed fan, and the motor electronics coolant pump. A 10 mV difference exists between an open circuit/short to VREF, and a valid sensor reading at - 40°C (-40°F). | ||
