Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. 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 

  2. CHECK MULTIPLEX COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. 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 

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
    5. 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 

  4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMP) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).
    3. Turn the tester ON.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
    5. 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 

  5. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK

    The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.

    NG → REPLACE ECM
