CHASSIS ELECTRICAL

54-111

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tool:

• MB991223: Harness Set

STEP 1. Check the speedometer operation.
Q: Does the speedometer work normally?

YES : Go to Step 2.
NO :  Refer to Inspection Procedure 1 

P.54-77

.

STEP 2. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor 
signal circuit at the engine coolant temperature sensor 
connector A-08 by backprobing.

(1) Do not disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor 

connector A-08.

(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.

(3) Measure the voltage between terminal 1 and ground by 

backprobing.

The measured value should be approximately nine volts.

Q: Does the measured voltage correspond with this range?

YES : Go to Step 5.
NO :  Go to Step 3.

STEP 3. Check engine coolant temperature sensor 
connector A-08 (terminal No.1) and combination meter 
connector C-05 (terminal No.2) for loose, corroded or 
damaged terminals, or terminals pushed back in the 
connector.

Q: Are engine coolant temperature sensor connector A-08 

(terminal No.1) and combination meter connector C-05 
(terminal No.2) in good condition?
YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. The engine coolant 

temperature gauge should work normally.

NOTE: After checking intermediate connector C-16, check the 
wire. If intermediate connector C-16 is damaged, repair or 
replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspec-
tion 

P.00E-2

.

Q: Are the harness wires between engine coolant 

temperature sensor connector A-08 (terminal No.1) and 
combination meter connector C-05 (terminal No.2) in 
good condition?
YES : Repair or replace the combination meter 

(printed-circuit board or engine coolant temperature 
gauge assembly). The engine coolant temperature 
gauge should work normally.

NO :  Repair them. The engine coolant temperature gauge 

should work normally.

STEP 5. Measure the engine coolant temperature gauge 
unit.
(1) Drain the engine coolant. Refer to GROUP 00, 

Maintenance Service 

− Engine Coolant 

P.00-51

.

(2) Remove the engine coolant temperature gauge unit.
(3) Immerse the unit in 78

° C (158°F) water to measure the 

resistance.

• The measured value should be 104 ± 13.5 ohms.

Q: Does the measured resistance value correspond with 

this range?
YES : Repair or replace the combination meter 

(printed-circuit board or engine coolant temperature 
gauge assembly). The engine coolant temperature 
gauge should work normally.

NO :  Replace the engine coolant temperature gauge unit. 

The engine coolant temperature gauge should work 
normally.
