GENERAL
Engine Temperature Sensor
CAUTION
Do not pull on engine temperature sensor wiring. Excess
strain to sensor wiring will cause sensor damage.
The ECM supplies and monitors a 0-5 volt signal to one side
of the engine temperature sensor (ET sensor). The other side
of the ET sensor is connected to ground through the engine.
See
Table 4-43.
The ET sensor is a thermistor device which
means that at a specific temperature it will have a specific
resistance across its terminals. As this resistance varies, so
does the supplied voltage.
●
At high temperatures, the resistance of the sensor is very
low. This effectively lowers the signal voltage.
●
At low temperatures, the resistance is very high, allowing
the voltage to rise close to the supplied voltage of 5 volts.
The ECM monitors this voltage to compensate for various
operating conditions.
DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic Tips
An intermittent may be caused by poor connection, rubbed
through wire insulation or a wire broken inside the insulation.
Check the following conditions:
●
Poor connection.
Inspect ECM harness connector [11]
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, poor terminal-
to-wire connection and damaged harness.
●
Shifted sensor.
The temperature-to-resistance values
table may be used to test the ET sensor at various tem-
perature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a
shifted (out-of-calibration) sensor which may result in
driveability problems.
Diagnostic Notes
The reference numbers below correlate with the circled num-
bers on the Code 14 flow charts.
1.
Connect BREAKOUT BOX (Part No. HD-42682) to ECM.
See
4.6 BREAKOUT BOX
.
2.
Use HARNESS CONNECTOR TEST KIT (Part No. HD-
41404), gray pin probes and patch cord.
NOTE
All voltage and resistance values are approximate (+/- 20%).
Engine temperature sensor is measured between Terminal 9
of connector [11] and system ground (Terminals 2 and 11 of
connector [10]).
