Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

CHECK FOR AN ACTIVE DTC
NOTE:
Diagnose and repair any system voltage DTCs before continuing with this test.
1. Turn the ignition on.
2. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  Is the DTC active or pending?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 2
  No
  - Perform the INTERMITTENT CONDITION diagnostic procedure. Refer to INTERMITTENT CONDITION .
ECT SENSOR
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the ECT Sensor harness connector.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, read DTCs and record on the repair order.
  NOTE:
  The P0118-ECT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH DTC should display as active or pending with the ECT harness connector disconnected.
  
  Does the scan tool display as described above?
  
  Yes
  - Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the ECT Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors. If no problems are found, replace the ECT Sensor. Refer to SENSOR, COOLANT TEMPERATURE, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 3
CHECK THE (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO GROUND
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Disconnect the PCM C2 harness connector.
3. Check for continuity between ground and the (K2) ECT Signal circuit at the ECT harness connector.
  Is there continuity between ground and the (K2) ECT Signal circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the (K2) ECT Signal circuit for a short to ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 4
CHECK THE (K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR A SHORT TO THE (K915) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT
1. Check for continuity between the (K2) ECT Signal circuit and the (K915) Sensor Ground circuit at the ECT Sensor harness connector.
  Is there continuity between the (K2) ECT Signal circuit and the (K915) Sensor Ground circuit?
  
  Yes
  - Repair the short to between the (K2) ECT Signal circuit and the (K915) Sensor Ground.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
1. Using the wiring diagram/schematic as a guide, inspect the wiring and connectors between the ECT Sensor and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
2. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires.
3. Look for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Verify that there is good pin to terminal contact in the ECT Sensor and Powertrain Control Module connectors.
4. Perform any Service Bulletins that may apply.
  Were there any problems found?
  
  Yes
  - Repair as necessary.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Replace and program the Powertrain Control Module in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
