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.

Hint:
if a normal code is displayed during the dtc check but the trouble still occurs,
check the circuits for each
symptom in the order given in the charts on the following pages and proceed to

Symptom confirmation and diagnostic trouble code
Hint:
the diagnostic system in corolla has various functions. The first
function is the diagnostic trouble
code (dtc) check, in which a malfunction in the signal circuits to the ecu
is stored in code form in
the ecu memory. Another function is the input signal check, which checks if
