DTC Troubleshooting
Step Action Yes No
1
Was “Engine and Emission Control System Check” performed?
Go to Step 2.

ECT sensor signal circuit and ground circuit check
1)With ignition “OFF”, disconnect “C01” and “E01” connectors of ECM and ECT sensor connector.
2)Check for proper terminal connection to “C01” and “E01” connectors and ECT sensor connector.
3)If connections are OK, check the following points.
•Resistance of “A1” and “A2” circuits: less than 1 Ω
•Resistance between each of “A1” and “A2” circuits and ground: infinity
•Resistance between “A1” circuit terminal and “A2” circuit terminal at ECT sensor connector: infinity
•Voltage of “A1” and “A2” circuits: approx. 0 V (When ignition is “ON”)
Is check result OK?
Go to Step 3.
Repair or replace defective wire harness.
