Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
Scheme 218
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check ECT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is about 356°F (180°C) or more, or 0.08 V or less indicated? YES - Go to step 3 . NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the ECM/PCM.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the ECT sensor 2 2P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check ECT SENSOR 2 in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is about 356°F (180°C) or more, or 0.08 V or less indicated? YES - Go to step 7 . NO - Go to step 11 .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
- Disconnect ECM/PCM connector E (31P).
- Check for continuity between ECT sensor 2 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between ECT sensor 2 and the ECM/PCM (E1), then go to step 13 . NO - Go to step 18 .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Replace ECT sensor 2 (see «ECT SENSOR 2 REPLACEMENT»(ref-291411-S41747978832008072800000) ).
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the ECM/PCM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM/PCM idle learn procedure (see «ECM/PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-291413-S23447131872008072800000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P2184 indicated? YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the ECM/PCM, then go to step 1 . NO - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
- Reconnect all connectors.
- Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software (see «UPDATING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-291410-S41633658632008072800000) ), or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-291410-S09944723422008072800000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Is DTC P2184 indicated? YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 2 and the ECM/PCM. If the ECM/PCM was updated, substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see «SUBSTITUTING THE ECM/PCM»(ref-291410-S09944723422008072800000) ), then recheck. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, go to step 1 . NO - If the ECM/PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the ECM/PCM was substituted, replace the original ECM/PCM (see «ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT»(ref-291411-S17209936142008072800000) ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting.
