METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Malfunction in Water Temperature Warning Light

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN V1 Bus). The meter CPU displays engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips

If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM stores the DTCs. Troubleshoot the SFI System.


PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM


    1. Check if a CAN communication DTC is output Click here.

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

    B
    A
  2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (COOLANT TEMP)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the intelligent tester on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body / Combination Meter / Active Test.

    5. According to the display on the intelligent tester, perform the Active Test.

  3. READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the intelligent tester on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Body / Combination Meter / Data List.

    5. According to the display on the intelligent tester, read the Data List.

      Min.: 0 (32)

      Max.: 127.5 (261.5)

      After warming up:

      80 to 100 (176 to 212)

      Unit: °C (°F)
      OK
      Vehicle's coolant temperature and tester value are the same.

    NG
    OK
  4. CHECK ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM


    1. Check if a engine control DTC is output.


      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Engine control DTC is not output A
      Engine control DTC is output (for 1NR-FE) B
      Engine control DTC is output (for 1KR-FE) C
      Engine control DTC is output (for 1ND-TV (w/ DPF)) D
      Engine control DTC is output (for 1ND-TV (w/o DPF)) E
