Diagnostic Test

ACTIVE DTC
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. If possible, allow the vehicle to sit with the ignition off for more than 480 minutes in an environment where the temperature is consistent and above -7° C (19.4° F).
3. Test drive the vehicle. The vehicle must exceed 48 km/h (30 mph) during the test drive. Do not cycle the ignition off when the test drive is completed.
4. With the scan tool, select View the DTCs.
  NOTE:
  All ECT, Intake Air and Ambient Air Temperature Sensor codes must be diagnosed and repaired before continuing.
  
  NOTE:
  In cold weather, this DTC could be set by a high powered block heater and no repair would be required.
  
  Is the DTC Active or Pending at this time?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT
1. With the scan tool, read the ECT, Ambient Air Temp and Intake Air Temp Sensor temp values.
2. Start the engine.
3. Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature while monitoring the three Sensor temperature values.
  Is the temperature for each of the Sensors increasing properly?
  
  Yes
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
  No
  - Go To 3
TEMPERATURE SENSOR
1. Disconnect the suspected sensor.
2. Ignition on, engine not running.
3. With the scan tool, read the voltage of the suspected Sensor.
4. Connect a jumper wire between the Sensor Signal circuit and the Sensor ground circuit of the ECT Sensor, IAT Sensor and AAT Sensor.
  Did the voltage reading start at 4.8 to 5.0 Volts and decrease to 0 Volts when the jumper wire was installed?
  
  Yes
  - Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the Sensor and Control Module connectors. If OK, replace the appropriate Temperature Sensor. Refer to SENSOR, COOLANT TEMPERATURE, REMOVAL or SENSOR, AIR TEMPERATURE, INTAKE, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
    NOTE:
    Remove the jumper wire before continuing.
EXCESSIVE RESISTANCE IN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT
