    3. Check for DTC P0118-00 being past on the CONSULT screen.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Refer to Intermittent Incident .

    NO

    GO TO 2 .

  2. INSPECT COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND CONNECTOR PINS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect coolant temperature sensor connector F127.
    3. Inspect the harness and sensor connector pins for the following:
      • Loose connector
      • Corroded pins
      • Bent or broken pins
      • Pushed back or expanded pins
      • Moisture in or on the connector
      • Missing or damaged connector seals
      • Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
      • Connector shell broken
      • Wire insulation damage
      • Damaged connector locking tab

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 3 .

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  3. CHECK COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR RESISTANCE 
    1. Coolant temperature sensor connector F127 remains disconnected.
    2. Check resistance between the terminals of coolant temperature sensor connector F127.

  4. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 
    1. Connect coolant temperature sensor connector F127.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check for DTC P0118-00 being current and P0113 being past on the CONSULT screen after 30 seconds.

    Are the applicable DTCs detected?

    YES

    GO TO 5 .

    NO

    Refer to Intermittent Incident .

  5. INSPECT ECM AND CONNECTOR PINS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM connector F101.
    3. Inspect the harness and module connector pins for the following:
      • Loose connector
      • Corroded pins
      • Bent or broken pins
      • Pushed back or expanded pins
      • Moisture in or on the connector
      • Missing or damaged connector seals
      • Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
      • Connector shell broken
      • Wire insulation damage
      • Damaged connector locking tab

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 6 .

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  6. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 
    1. Connect a jumper wire between terminals 170 and 193 of the ECM connector F101.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check for DTC P0117-00 being current and P0118 being past on the CONSULT screen after 30 seconds.

    Are the applicable DTCs detected?

    YES

    GO TO 7 .

    NO

    Replace the ECM. Refer to Removal and Installation .

  7. CHECK FOR AN OPEN RETURN CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Remove the jumper wire between terminals 170 and 193 of the ECM connector F101.
    3. Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor connector F127.
    4. Check resistance between ECM connector F101 and coolant temperature sensor connector F127.
