Inspection Procedure

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

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. 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 TECHSTREAM (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE)

Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the Techstream on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.

Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

OK:

Between 80 and 100 C (167 and 212 F) with warm engine.

RESULT CHART

Result	Proceed to
-40°C (-40°F)	A
140°C (284°F) or higher	B
Between 80 and 100°C (176 and 212°F)	C

HINT:

If there is an open circuit, the Techstream indicates 40°C (-40°F).
If there is a short circuit, the Techstream indicates 140°C (284°F) or higher.
B: Go to step 4

C: CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS (See CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS )

A: Go to next step

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS)
1. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the engine coolant temperature sensor connector on the wire harness side.
3. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
4. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
5. Turn the Techstream on.
6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
7. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.
  Standard value:
  
  140°C (284°F) or higher
8. Reconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
  NG: Go to step 3

  OK: REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (See REMOVAL )

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)

Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
Disconnect the ECM connector.

Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance (Check for Open)

TESTER CONNECTION SPECIFIED CONDITION CHART

Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
B53-2 - B51-18 (THW)	Always	Below 1 Ω
B53-1 - B51-17 (ETHW)	Always	Below 1 Ω

Reconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
Reconnect the ECM connector.
NG: REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)
1. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
2. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Turn the Techstream on.
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain/Engine/Data List/All Data/Coolant Temp.
6. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.
  Standard value:
  
  -40°C (-40°F)
7. Reconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
  NG: Go to step 5
