- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check the ECT with a scan tool or the HDS. Is 302 °F (150 °C) or higher, or 0 V indicated? YES - Go to step 3. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose wires at the ECT sensor and at the ECM.
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect the ECT sensor 2P connector.
- Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
- Check the ECT with a scan tool or the HDS. Is 302 °F (150 °C) or higher, or 0 V indicated? YES - Go to step 7. NO - Replace the ECT sensor (see «SPECIAL TOOLS»(ref-221324-S23506078702006022400000) ).
- Turn the ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect ECM connector C (31P).
- Check for continuity between ECT sensor 2P connector terminal No. 2 and body ground. Is there continuity? YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM (C26) and the ECT sensor. NO - Substitute a known-good ECM (see «HOW TO SUBSTITUTE THE ECM FOR TESTING PURPOSES»(ref-221328-S04997151962006022400000) ) and recheck. If normal ECT is indicated, replace the original ECM (see «ECM REPLACEMENT»(ref-221329-S30667517252006022400000) ).
