If wiring is OK:

- Check ECT sensor resistance across terminal 1 (signal) and terminal 3
(ground).
- Check measured resistance value for appropriate temperature range
using graph below (N24-0157).

Range A: 0 to 50 C

Range B: 50 to 100 C

Examples:
If resistance is NOT OK:
At 30 C, ECT sensor resistance should be 1500-2000 At 80 C, ECT sensor resistance should be 275-375
- Replace Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -G62-.
- Check readiness code Page 01
-59
. If Diagnostic Trouble Code
(DTC) memory has been erased, or ECM was disconnected, generate
new readiness code Page 01

- Without disconnecting harness connector,
remove IAT sensor -G42-.

- Monitor intake air temperature value in display
field 4.

- Spray sensor with commercially available
chilling spray and check temperature value in
display field 4.

Temperature value must decrease
If NOT:

- Replace intake air temperature sensor -G42-.

- Check readiness code Page 01
