Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure
- CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Check if CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.RESULT
Condition Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC is output B
B → REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS
A: Go to next step
- Check if CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.
- CHECK MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Check if MULTIPLEX communication DTC is output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR
.RESULT
Condition Proceed to DTC is not output A DTC is output B
B → REPAIR CIRCUITS INDICATED BY OUTPUT DTCS
B: Go to next step
- Check if MULTIPLEX communication DTC is output. Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR
.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.COMBINATION METER:
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge Low, Normal, Hi - OK
Needle indication is normal.
NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMP)
- Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the engine switch on (IG).
- Turn the tester ON.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.ENGINE AND ECT:
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature/Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F) After warming up: 80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F) - OK
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the tester is almost the same as actual engine coolant temperature.
NG → GO TO SFI SYSTEM
OK: Go to next step
- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK
The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.
NG → REPLACE ECM
OK → END
