5. Ignition ON, verify that the scan tool ECT sensor parameter is at -40掳C (-40掳F).

瀚慖f greater than the specified value, test the signal circuit terminal 1 for a short to ground. If the circuit tests normal, replace the K20 ECM.

Note: If the fuse in the jumper wire opens, the signal circuit is shorted to a voltage and the sensor may be damaged.

6. Ignition ON, install a 3A fused jumper wire between the signal circuit terminal 1 and the low reference circuit terminal 2. Verify the ECT

sensor parameter is greater than 142掳C (288掳F).

瀚慖f less than the specified value, test the signal circuit for a short to voltage or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace

the K20 ECM.

7. If all circuits test normal, test or replace the B34 ECT sensor.

Component Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.

Note: A thermometer can be used to test the sensor off the vehicle.

2. Test the ECT sensor by varying the sensor temperature while monitoring the sensor resistance. Compare the readings with the Temperature

Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Specifications)

table and verify that the resistance is within 5 percent of the specification.

瀚慖f not within the specified range, replace the B34 ECT sensor.
