DTC Code | DTC Name |
---|---|
P0545 | Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 1) |
P0546 | Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High (Bank 1 Sensor 1) |
DESCRIPTION
The exhaust gas temperature sensors are installed before and after the CCo catalytic converter to sense the exhaust gas temperature.
A thermistor built into the sensor changes its resistance value according to the exhaust gas temperature. The lower the exhaust gas temperature, the greater the thermistor resistance value. The higher the exhaust gas temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value.
The exhaust gas temperature sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the exhaust gas temperature sensor from terminal THCI (B1S1) and THCO (B1S2) via resistor R.
The resistor R and the exhaust gas temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the exhaust gas temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the exhaust gas temperature, the voltage at terminals THCI (B1S1) and THCO (B1S2) also changes.
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |

Note
When replacing the ECM, the ECM needs Registration and Initialization Click here.
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the intelligent tester. Then after installing the new ECM, perform all of the initialization/registrations for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the tester display.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (EXHAUST TEMPERATURE B1S1)
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Start the engine and warm it up.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Exhaust Temperature B1S1.
Read the value.
Standard |
---|
Same as the actual exhaust gas temperature (50 to 700°C [122 to 1292°F] during idling after warm-up). |
Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
20°C (68°F) | A |
900°C (1652°F) | B |
Same as the actual exhaust gas temperature (50 to 700°C [122 to 1292°F] during idling after warm-up) | C |
Tech Tips
If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 20°C (68°F).
If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 900°C (1652°F).
