METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM. The meter CPU displays engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

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 or ECD System.


PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK ENGINE


    1. Check the engine type.

  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 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/0 to 127.5°C (0 to 261.5°F) After warming up: 80 to 95°C (176 to 203°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 intelligent tester is almost the same as the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.

    6. Record the temperature displayed on the intelligent tester.

  4. READ VALUE 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: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

    5. Check the values by referring to the table below.

      Engine and ECT
      Tester Display Measurement Item/Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature/Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 215°C (419°F) After warming up: 80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F) -
