NOTE: The thermostat must be operating correctly for this test to be valid.
Start the engine and bring the engine to operating temperature (thermostat open).
Turn the engine off and wait 10 minutes to allow the engine temperature to stabilize.
Using a temperature probe, measure the engine block temperature near the ECT
Sensor.
With the DRBIII
t, select Engine, then Sensors and read the engine coolant
temperature.
Are the readings within 7°C (13°F) of each other?
All
Yes
→ Test Complete.
No
→ Go To 4

Disconnect the ECT harness connector.
Disconnect the ECM harness connectors.
Measure the resistance of the ECT Sensor Signal circuit between the ECM harness
connector and the ECT harness connector.
Measure the resistance of the Sensor Ground circuit between the ECM harness
connector and the ECT harness connector.
Is the resistance below 10.0 ohms for each measurement?
All
Yes
→ Replace the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
No
→ Repair the ECT Sensor circuit(s) that measured above 10.0 ohms
for high resistance.
Perform ROAD TEST VERIFICATION - VER-2.
