Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output.Refer to DIAGNOSIS SYSTEM .
      RESULT

      Result Proceed to
      CAN communication DTC is not output A
      CAN communication DTC is output B

    B → See step   5 

    A: Go to next step 

  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION) 
    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 / Active Test.
    5. According to the display on the Techstream, perform the Active Test.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge LOW, NORMAL or HIGH Perform the test with the vehicle stopped and the engine idling.

      OK

      Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication is normal.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  3. 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.
    5. According to the display on the Techstream, read the Data List.
      COMBINATION METER

      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temperature Engine coolant temperature/
      Min.: 0 (32), Max.: 127.5 (261.5)
      After warming up: 75 to 105 (167 to 221) Unit: °C (°F)

      OK

      Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.

    NG → See step   6 

    OK: Go to next step 

  4. CHECK ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM 
    1. Check if a engine control DTC is output.Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR .

    B → See step   7 

    A → See step   6 

  5. GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING 
  6. REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY. Refer to  REMOVAL 
  7. GO TO SFI SYSTEM. Refer to  HOW TO PROCEED WITH TROUBLESHOOTING
