DTC Code DTC Name
Malfunction in Water Temperature Warning Light

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the combination meter assembly receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system. The combination meter assembly displays an engine coolant temperature warnings based on the data received from the ECM.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tip:

  • 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. Read the Data List according to the display on the GTS.

        -

        This is the engine coolant temperature.

        Tip:

        • 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).

    Tip:

    • 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.
