Monitor description
The engine coolant temperature (ect) sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ect sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. When the coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. The variations in resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the sensor. The ecm monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ecm interprets this as a fault in the ect sensor and sets a dtc.
Examples:
- upon starting the engine, the coolant temperature (ect) was
between 35 c (95 °F) and 60 c (140 °F).
If after driving for 250 seconds, the ect still remains within 3 c (5.4 °F) of the staring temperature, a dtc will be set. (2 Trip detection logic)
- upon starting the engine, the coolant temperature (ect) was over 60 c (140 °F). If after driving for 250 seconds, the ect still remains within 1 c (1.8 °F) of the starting temperature, a dtc will be set. (6 Trip detection logic)

Replacement
Hint: components:
1. Remove instrument panel sub–assy upper
Hint:
refer to the procedure until the step, ”remove instrument panel sub–assy
upper” of
instrument panel sub–assy lower.
Remove the related parts as long as the antenna cord sub–assy can be
removed ...
Disposal
1. Dispose shock absorber assy front lh
fully extend the shock absorber piston rod.
using a drill, make a hole in the cylinder as shown in the
illustration to discharge the gas inside.
Caution:
when drilling, chips may fly out, work carefully.

Circuit description
The side airbag sensor assy (rh) circuit consists of the diagnosis circuit
and lateral deceleration sensor, etc.
It receives signals from the lateral deceleration sensor, judges whether or not
the srs must be activated,
and detects diagnosis system malfunction.
