Scheme 33: DTC P0117: ECT Sensor Circuit Low Voltage
  1. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  2. 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.
  3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  4. Disconnect the ECT sensor 2P connector.
  5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
  6. 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) ).
  7. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
  8. Disconnect ECM connector C (31P).
  9. 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) ).
