Note. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).
- Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor. Are the connections and terminals OK? YES - Go to step 2. NO - Repair the connections or terminals, then go to step 25 .
- Start the engine, and let it idle for 10 minutes.
- Check the ECT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Is about 129°F (54°C) or less, or 1.54 V or more indicated? YES - Replace the ECT sensor, then go to step 25 . NO - Go to step 4.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Remove the IAT sensor.
- Allow the IAT sensor to cool to 77°F (25°C).
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P connector. But do not install the sensor on the intake air duct.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Note the value of the IAT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
- Compare the IAT SENSOR and the ambient temperature. Does the IAT SENSOR differ 5.4°F (3°C) or more? YES - Replace the IAT sensor, then go to step 25 . NO - Go to step 12.
- Disconnect the IAT sensor from the 2P connector.
- Using a heat gun, below hot air on the IAT sensor for a few seconds. Do not apply the heat longer than a few seconds or you will damage the sensor.
- Connect the IAT sensor to the 2P connector. Do not install it on the intake air duct.
- Check the IAT SENSOR in the DATA LIST with the HDS. Does the IAT SENSOR change 82°F (28°C) or more? YES - Go to step 16. NO - Replace the IAT sensor, then go to step 25 .
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Drain the coolant (see «COOLANT REPLACEMENT»(ref-219286-S08980614052006021300000) ).
- Remove the ECT sensor.
- Allow the ECT sensor to cool to 77°F (25°C).
- Note the ambient temperature.
- Connect the ECT sensor to the 2P connector. Do not install the sensor on the engine.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Note the value of ECT SENSOR quickly in the DATA LIST with the HDS.
- Compare the ECT SENSOR and the ambient temperature. Does the ECT SENSOR differ 5.4°F (3°C) or more? YES - Replace the ECT sensor, then go to step 25. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECT sensor and the ECM.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Reset the ECM with the HDS.
- Do the ECM idle learn procedure (see «ECM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE»(ref-219290-S07506924172006021300000) ).
- Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS. Are any Temporary DTCs or DTCs indicated? YES - If DTC P0111 and/or P1116 is indicated, check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ECT sensor, or the IAT sensor and the ECM, then go to step 1 . If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated «DTC TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-219289-S32747860742006021300000) NO - Troubleshooting is complete.
