      Result

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output. A
      CAN communication DTC is output. B

    B → See step   9 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. SYSTEM CHECK 
    1. Check the Water temperature warning light.

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      Water temperature warning light does not come on. A
      Water temperature warning light remains on. B

    B → See step   4 

    A: Go to next step 

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT HOT INDICATOR) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. Check the operation by referring to the table below.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Hot Indicator Water temperature warning light OFF or ON -

      OK

      Water temperature warning light operation is normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK FOR DTC

    B → See step   10 

    C → See step   11 

    A: Go to next step 

  5. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE, COOLANT TEMP) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus:
      1. for Combination Meter: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
      2. for Engine: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temperature Engine coolant temperature/-40 to 127.5°C (-40 to 261.5°F) After warming up: 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F) -
      ENGINE AND ECT

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature/Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 215°C (419°F) 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up
      • After warming up the engine: the engine coolant temperature 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).
      • If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit open or shorted.
      NOTE:

      Enter the inspection mode. Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE .

      Result

      Result Proceed to
      The data list values of the ECUs do not match. OK
      The data list values of the ECUs match. NG

      HINT: 

      When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the ECM is suspected.

    NG → See step   12 

    OK: Go to next step 

  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or a known good one. Refer to REMOVAL .

      OK

      The operation of the coolant hot warning light returns to normal.

    NG → See step   8 

    OK → END 

  7. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  8. REPLACE ECM. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  9. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  10. GO TO SFI SYSTEM. Refer to  DTC P0115: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Malfunction; DTC P0117: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input; DTC P0118: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input 
  11. GO TO METER / GAUGE SYSTEM. Refer to  DTC B1503: Exhaust Heat Management Warning Detected  
  12. GO TO SFI SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
