Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

HINT:

If other DTCs relating to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.
Read freeze frame data using a hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data record the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data, from the time the malfunction occurred.

READ VALUE USING HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE)

Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool ON.
On the hand-held tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / COOLANT TEMP.

Read the value using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool.

OK: Standard: 80° to 97°C (176° to 207°F) with warm engine.

Result:

DISPLAYED ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE

Temperature Displayed	Proceed To
-40 °C (-40°F)	A
140°C (284°F) or more	B
OK (Same as the actual engine coolant temperature)	C

HINT:

If there is an open circuit, the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool indicates -40°C (-40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool indicates 140°C (284° F) or more.

B: Go to step 4
C CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
A: GO TO NEXT STEP

READ VALUE USING HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS)
1. Disconnect the E2 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor connector.
2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the ECT sensor connector on the wire harness side.
3. Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
6. On the tester, select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DATA LIST / ALL / COOLANT TEMP.

READ VALUE USING HAND-HELD TESTER OR OBD II SCAN TOOL (CHECK FOR OPEN IN ECM)
1. Disconnect the E2 ECT sensor connector.
2. Connect terminals THW and E2 of the E3 ECM connector.
  HINT: Before checking, do visual and contact pressure checks on the ECM connector.
3. Connect the hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Turn the tester or scan tool ON.
