CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor is built in the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and changes the resistance value ac-
cording to the engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sen-
sor.
HINT:
If the ECM detects the DTC ºP0115, P0117 or P0118º, it operates the fail±safe function in which the ECT
is assumed to be 80C (176F).

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECT
sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. When
the coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the
resistance drops. The resistance varies as output voltage from the sensor changes.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature.
When the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault
in the ECT sensor and sets a DTC.
