Monitor description
The engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the engine coolant. The resistance of the sensor varies with the actual coolant temperature. The ecm applies a voltage to the sensor and the varying resistance of the sensor causes the signal voltage to vary. The ecm monitors the ect signal voltage after engine start–up. If, after sufficient time has passed, the sensor still reports that the engine is not warm enough for closed–loop fuel control, the ecm interprets this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system.
Example: the engine coolant temperature was 0 c (32 f) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the coolant temperature sensor still indicates that the engine is not warm enough to begin air–fuel ratio feedback control.
The ecm interprets this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system and will set a dtc.

Inspection procedure
Hint:
if dtcs p0115, p0116, p0117, p0118 and p0125 are output
simultaneously, the engine coolant temperature
sensor circuit may be open or short. Perform the troubleshooting of dtc

Inspection procedure
Hint:
read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the obd ii scan tool.
Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is
useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the ...
Mechanical system tests
1. Perform mechanical system tests
Measure the stall speed.
The object of this test is to check the overall performance of the transaxle
and engine by measuring
the stall speeds in the d and r positions.
Notice:
Do the test at normal operating atf temperature 50 to 80 °c (122 to
...
Initialization
1. Reset memory
Caution:
perform the reset memory (at initialization) when replacing the automatic
transaxle assy, engine
assy or ecm.
Notice:
hand–held tester only
Turn the ignition switch off.
connect the hand–held tester to the dlc3.
turn the ignition switch to the on ...
