METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM via the CAN communication system. The combination meter assembly displays the engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note


  • When replacing the combination meter assembly, make sure to replace it with a new one.

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

  3. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION)


    1. Using the GTS, perform the Active Test.

      Click here


      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test
      Tester Display Measurement Item Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge OFF, LOW, NORMAL, HIGH -

      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Active Test

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


    1. Using the GTS, read the Data List.

      Click here


      Powertrain > Engine > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Normal Condition Reference Value Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temp Engine coolant temperature Min.: -40°C (-40°F), Max: 215°C (419°F) 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up the engine -

      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List
      Tester Display Measurement Item Range Normal Condition Diagnostic Note
      Coolant Temperature Engine coolant temperature Min.: 0°C (0°F), Max.: 127.5°C (261.5°F) 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up the engine -

      Body Electrical > Combination Meter > Data List
      Tester Display
      Coolant Temperature

      Powertrain > Engine > Data List
      Tester Display
      Coolant Temp

      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.

      OK
      The Data List values of the ECUs do not match.

  5. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY


    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new one.

      Click here

    2. Check that the operation of the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge returns to normal.

      OK
      The operation of the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge returns to normal.
