DTC Confirmation Procedure

UBS00D3G

CAUTION:

Be careful not to overheat engine.

NOTE:
If “DTC Confirmation Procedure” has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 5 seconds before conducting the next test.

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.

3.

Check that “COOLAN TEMP/S” is above 10

°C (50°F).

If it is above 10

°C (50°F), the test result will be OK. 

If it is below 10

°C (50°F), go to the following step.

4.

Start engine and run it for 65 minutes at idle speed.
If “COOLAN TEMP/S” increases to more than 10

°C (50°F)

within 65 minutes, stop engine because the test result will
be OK.

5.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-177, "Diagnostic Procedure"

.

 WITH GST

Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-II”.

Diagnostic Procedure

UBS00D3I

1. 

CHECK POWER SUPPLY

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Disconnect engine coolant temperature sensor harness connec-
tor.

3.

Turn ignition switch ON.

4.

Check voltage between engine coolant temperature sensor ter-
minal 1 and ground with CONSULT-II or tester.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 3.

NG

>> GO TO 2.

2. 

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the harness for open or short between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor.

>> Repair harness or connectors.

3. 

CHECK GROUND CIRCUIT

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Check harness continuity between engine coolant temperature sensor terminal 2 and engine ground.
Refer to Wiring Diagram.

3.

Also check harness for short to power.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 5.

NG

>> GO TO 4.

4. 

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

Check the harness for open or short between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor.

>> Repair open circuit or short to power in harness or connectors.

SEF330V

Voltage

: Approximately 5V

SEF206W

Continuity should exist.

5. 

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Refer to 

EC-178, "Component Inspection"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 6.

NG

>> Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.

6. 

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

When the engine is cooled [lower than 76.5

°C (170°F)], condition grasp lower radiator hose and confirm the

engine coolant does not flow.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 7.

NG

>> Repair or replace thermostat. Refer to 

CO-13, "THERMOSTAT"

 .

7. 

CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Perform 

EC-120, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT"

 .

>> INSPECTION END.

Component Inspection

UBS00D3J

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

1.

Check resistance between engine coolant temperature sensor
terminals 1 and 2 as shown in the figure.

<Reference data>

*: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminal
59 (Engine coolant temperature sensor) and ground.

2.

If NG, replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
