Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure
- CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
- Check if a CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.RESULT
Result Proceed to CAN communication DTC is not output. A CAN communication DTC is output. B
B → See step 8
A: Go to next step
- Check if a CAN communication DTC is output. Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM
.
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
- Check the operation by referring to the table below.COMBINATION METER
Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge Low, Normal, High Confirm that the vehicle is stopped with the engine idling OK
Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication is normal.
NG → See step 5
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
- 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 140°C (-40 to 284°F) After warming up: 80 to 95°C (176 to 203°F) - If -40°C (-40°F): Sensor circuit open
- If 140°C (284°F) or more: Sensor circuit shorted
OK
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.
- Record the temperature displayed on the Techstream.
NG → See step 5
OK: Go to next step
- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMP)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Control / Data List.
- Check the values by referring to the table below.HYBRID CONTROL
Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note Engine Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature/-40 to 140°C (-40 to 284°F) After warming up: 80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F) - If value -40°C (-40°F): sensor circuit open
- If value 140°C (284°F) or more: sensor circuit shorted
OK
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the previously recorded Techstream indication (Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List / Coolant Temperature).
NG → See step 6
OK → See step 7
