Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction: Procedure

  1. 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. Check the operation by referring to the values in the table below.
      COMBINATION METER:

      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge Low, Normal, Hi -

      OK

      Needle indication is normal.

    NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK: Go to next step 

  2. READ VALUE USING DATA LIST (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. Check the values by referring to the table below.
      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 100°C (176 to 212°F)
      • If -40°C (-40°F): 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 needle indication.

    NG → REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY 

    OK → GO TO SFI SYSTEM
