Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if CAN communication DTC is output.
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication system DTC is not output. A
      CAN communication system DTC is output. (w/ Smart Key System) B
      CAN communication system DTC is output. (w/o Smart Key System) C

    B → See step   5 

    C → See step   8 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
      COMBINATION METER:

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temperature Engine coolant temperature/Min.: 0°C (32°F), Max.: 127.5°C (261.5°F) After warming up: 80 to 95°C (176 to 203°F) -

      OK

      Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMP) 
    1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
    3. Turn the Techstream on.
    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Hybrid Vehicle Control / Data List.
    5. Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.
      HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL:

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature/Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F) After warming up: 80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F)
      • If -40°C (-40°F) or less: Sensor circuit open
      • If 140°C (284°F) or more: Sensor circuit shorted

      OK

      Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the tester is almost the same as actual engine coolant temperature.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 
    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or normally functioning one, refer to REMOVAL .

      OK

      The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.

    NG → See step   7 

    OK → END (COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY IS DEFECTIVE) 

  5. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  7. REPLACE HYBRID VEHICLE CONTROL ECU. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  8. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
