  1. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the tester ON.
    3. Select the item below from the Data List, and read the value displayed on the Techstream.

      METER 

      DATA LIST - METER

      Item Measurement Item/Range (Display) Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      COOLANT TEMP Engine coolant temperature / Min.: 0°C, Max.: 127.5°C After warming up: 75 to 105°C (167 to 221°F) -

      HINT:

      • If the value is 0°C (32°F), the sensor circuit is open.
      • If the value is 127.5°C (262°F), the sensor circuit is shorted.

      OK: 

      Coolant temperature displayed on the tester is between 75°C (167°F) and 105°C (221°F) after warming up.
