CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature sensor senses the
coolant temperature. A thermistor built in the sensor
changes its resistance value according to the coolant
temperature. The lower the coolant temperature, the
greater the thermistor resistance value, and the high-
er the coolant temperature, the lower the thermistor
resistance value (See Fig. 1).
The engine coolant temperature sensor is connected
to the ECM (See wiring diagram). The 5 V power
source voltage in the ECM is applied to the engine
coolant temperature sensor from the terminal THW
via a resistor R. That is, the resistor R and the engine
coolant temperature sensor are connected in series.
When the resistance value of th engine coolant tem-
perature sensor changes in accordance with changes
in the coolant temperature, the potential at the termi-
nal THW also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM
increases the fuel injection volume to improve drive-
ability during cold engine operation. If the ECM re-
cords the diagnostic trouble code 22, it operates the
fail safe function in which the engine coolant tempera-
ture is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DETECTION DRIVING PATTERN
Purpose of the driving pattern.
(a) To simulate diagnostic trouble code detecting condition after diagnostic trouble code is recorded.
(b) To check that the malfunction is corrected when the repair is completed confirming that diagnostic trouble
code is no longer detected.
(1) Disconnect the EFI No.1 fuse (30A) for 10 sec. or more, with IG switch OFF.
Initiate test mode (Connect terminal TE2 and E1 of data link connector 2 with
IG switch OFF).
(2) Start the engine and warm up with all ACC switched OFF.
(3) Idle the engine for 5 min.
(After the entine is started, do not depress the accelertor pedal.)
HINT: If a malfunction exists, the malfunction indicator lamp will light up during the 5 min.
idling period.
NOTICE: If the conditions in this test are not strictly followed, detection of the malfunction
will not be possible.
Malfunction: Open or Short in Injector circuit, Injector Leak or Blockage
