9 |
Water temperature gauge indication is defective |
---|---|
POSSIBLE CAUSE
|
• PCM malfunction
• Instrument cluster malfunction
• Connector or pin malfunction
• Short circuit in wiring harness between CAN-L, CAN-H and GND
• Open circuit in CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H)
• CAN wiring harness (CAN-L, CAN-H) short each other
|
Diagnostic procedure
STEP |
INSPECTION |
ACTION |
|
---|---|---|---|
1
|
• Start the engine.
• Does the water temperature gauge needle move to medium range gradually and stay there?
|
Yes
|
Troubleshooting completed.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
2
|
• Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM.
• Has DTC U0401:68 been recorded in memory?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the DTC for the instrument cluster.
|
No
|
Go to the next step.
|
||
3
|
• Inspect the water temperature gauge.
• Is the water temperature gauge normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace malfunctioning part according to inspection result.
|
||
4
|
• Verify that the PCM PID ECT using the M-MDS.
• Does the ECT PID indicate engine coolant temperature properly?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Inspect for ECT sensor and related wiring harness.
|
||
5
|
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Measure the resistance between the DLC-2 terminals F and E.
• Is the resistance below 60 ohms?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Go to Step 7.
|
||
6
|
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Inspect the DLC-2 terminals F and E for short to power supply or GND.
• Is there any malfunction?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
|
No
|
Replace the instrument cluster.
|
||
7
|
• Switch the ignition to off.
• Inspect the instrument cluster connector terminals for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, and corrosion).
• Are the terminals normal?
|
Yes
|
Go to the next step.
|
No
|
Repair or replace the terminal.
|
||
8
|
• Disconnect the negative battery cable.
• Measure the resistance between the instrument cluster connector terminals 2X and 2W.
• Is the resistance 114—126 ohms?
|
Yes
|
Inspect the wiring harness and CAN system-related module.
Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.
