Circuit/System Testing

  1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the ECT sensor.
  2. Ignition ON, clear the DTC information with a scan tool.
  3. Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 ohms of resistance between the low reference circuit termiinal B and ground.
    • If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  4. Ignition ON, verify the ECT sensor parameter is at -40°C (-40°F).
    • If greater than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  5. Ignition ON, clear the DTC information with a scan tool.
    6. IMPORTANT: If the signal circuit is shorted to voltage the ECT sensor may be damaged.
  6. Install a 1A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit termiinal A and the low reference circuit termiinal B. Verify the scan tool ECT sensor parameter is greater than 128°C (262°F).
    • If less than the specified range, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
  7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the ECT sensor.
