DTC P2185-00: (PCM, VIN M) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P2185-00:	ECT sensor No. 2 circuit high input
DETECTION CONDITION	The PCM monitors the ECT sensor No. 2 signal. If the PCM detects that the ECT sensor No. 2 voltage at the PCM terminal 1AM is above 4.94 V for 5 s, the PCM determines that the ECT sensor No. 2 circuit has a malfunction. Diagnostic support note This is a continuous monitor (engine cooling system). The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle. FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available. DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION	Not applicable
POSSIBLE CAUSE	ECT sensor No. 2 connector or terminals malfunction ECT sensor No. 2 malfunction PCM connector or terminals malfunction Short to power supply in wiring harness between ECT sensor No. 2 terminal A and PCM terminal 1AM Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals: ECT sensor No. 2 terminal A-PCM terminal 1AM ECT sensor No. 2 terminal B-PCM terminal 1AB PCM malfunction
