Engine coolant temperature 
(ECT) sensor, 
testing and replacing 
4 The ECT  sensor is located below cylinder 6 intake port at the 
rear  of the engine  (1). 
The ECT sensor is a  dual temperature  sensor. One circuit 
provides coolant temperature information to  the ECM while 
the  other  circuit provides coolant temperature information to 
the instrument cluster. 
The  ECM  determines the correct ignition timing and airlfuel 
mixture required 
forthe engine  temperature  by monitoring  an 
appliedvoltage 
(5vdc) to the sensor.Thevoltage drop  across 
the  sensor  varies as the coolant temperature (sensor resis- 
tance) changes. 
NOTE- 
The  ECT  sensor  is an  NTC  (negative  temperature coeffi- 
cient)  type sensor.  In other  words,  as the  temperature  rises, 
resistance through the sensor  decreases. 
If  the  ETC  sensor input  is faulty or  non-plausible,  the MIL is  il- 
luminated  when the MIL  is illuminated  when 
OED II fault crite- 
ria are  exceeded.  The ECM assumes a substitute  value 
(80" C 11 76'F) to maintain engine operation.  The ignition tim- 
ing is set  to a 
conservativelsafe basic setting. 
- Remove  intake manifold  to access ECT  sensor on the M52 
TU  and  the M54  engines. See  113 Cylinder  Head Removal 
and  Installation. 
- Check ECT  sensor  resistance using a multimeter at  sensor 
terminals. 
WARNING - 
Due  to rislc of personal  injury, be sure  the engine  is cold  be- 
fore  removing  ECT sensor  connector.

- If voltage is present as described  above, check wiring be- 
tween  ECM and valve.  If no  wiring  faults are found, check 
ECM signal  to valve. 
- When  replacing  idle speed  control valve, clean and  inspect 
all sealing  areas. 
. Inspect sealing ring  in throttle body and  replace if neces- 
sary. 
Throttle position sensor (TPS), 
testing and replacing 
The  throttle position sensor  (arrow) is mounted on the  side 
of  the  primary  throttle housing  and is directly  connected  to 
the  throttle  valve shaft.  The ECM  sends a voltage signal  to 
the potentiometer-type sensor and monitors the  voltage that 
comes  back. Resistance decreases  (voltage increases) as 
the throttle  opens. 
NOTE- 
Do not  confuse  the TPS on the  primary  throttle housing  with 
the throttle  switch on the 
ASC secondary  throttle housing. 
4 Check throttle position sensor  function by disconnecting  har- 
ness  connector  and checking across  terminals. If any faults 
are  found,  replace  throttle position  sensor.
