Tech Tips


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

  5. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMP, COOLANT TEMPERATURE)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus:


      1. for Engine and ECT: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.

      2. for Combination Meter: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.

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


      1. Engine and ECT (for Gasoline)


        Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Data List
        Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Reference Value Diagnostic Note
        Coolant Temp Coolant temperature Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max.: 140°C (284°F) 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up -

        • Stored as Freeze Frame Data: Yes

        • This is the engine coolant temperature.

        Tech Tips


        • After warming up the engine, the engine coolant temperature is 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F).

        • After a long soak, the engine coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient temperature are approximately equal.

        • If the value is -40°C (-40°F), or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

        • Check if the engine overheats when the value indicates 140°C (284°F).

        1ND-TV:

        After warming up engine: 75°C (167°F)

        • 1AD-FTV: If the value is -40°C (-40°F) or 140°C (284°F), the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

        • 1ND-TV: If the value is 30°C (-22°F) or less or 120°C (248°F) or more, the sensor circuit is open or shorted.

        • After a long soak, the coolant temperature, intake air temperature and ambient temperature are approximately equal.

        Cause of out of range:


        • Engine coolant temperature sensor

        • Thermostat

        Symptoms when out of range:

        Difficult to start when engine is cold, rough idle, black smoke, lack of power

      Tech Tips


      • When the Data List values of the ECUs match, an internal malfunction of the ECM is suspected.

      • When the Data List values of the ECUs do not match, a signal output error of the ECM or an internal malfunction of the combination meter assembly is suspected.
