id0140b7802000

Note
•  Perform the following inspection only when directed.

Resistance Inspection

1.  Remove the ECT sensor. (SeeENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C]

2.  Measure the resistance between the ECT sensor terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.

•  If not as specified, replace the ECT sensor.
•  If as specified, carry out the “Circuit Open/Short Inspection”.

Circuit Open/Short Inspection

1.  Disconnect the PCM connector. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [WL-C, WE-C].) (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION (U.K. Specs.) [WL-C, WE-C].)

2.  Inspect for an open or short circuit in the following wiring harnesses.

•  If there is an open or short circuit, repair or replace wiring harness.
