METER / GAUGE SYSTEM Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

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

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

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.


      1. for LHD Click here.

      2. for RHD Click here.

        Result
        Result Proceed to
        CAN communication DTC is not output A
        CAN communication DTC is output (for LHD) B
        CAN communication DTC is output (for RHD) C

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


    1. Use the Active Test to check the operation of the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge Click here.

      Combination Meter
      Tester Display Test Part Control Range Diagnostic Note
      Water Temperature Meter Operation Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge OFF, Low, Normal or High -
      OK
      Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication is normal.

    NG
    OK
  3. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)


    1. Use the Data List to check the engine coolant temperature Click here.

      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: 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F) -
      OK
      Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.

    NG
    OK
  4. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMP)


    1. Use the Data List to check the engine coolant temperature Click here.

      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) 75 to 100°C (167 to 212°F): After warming up -
      OK
      Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the GTS is almost the same as the previously recorded value displayed on the GTS.
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2GR-FXE) B
      NG (for 2AR-FSE [w/ EGR System]) C
      NG (for 2AR-FSE [w/o EGR System]) D

  5. CHECK COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY


    1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or normally functioning one Click here.

    2. Check the engine coolant temperature gauge operation.

      OK
      The operation of the engine coolant temperature gauge returns to normal.
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      OK A
      NG (for 2GR-FXE) B
      NG (for 2AR-FSE) C
