Circuit Description
The ECT sensor is a thermistor. A temperature changesthe resistance value. And it changes voltage. In other
words it measures a temperature value. It is installed on
the coolant stream. Low coolant temperature produces

a high resistance.
The ECM supplies 5 volts signal to the ECT sensor
through resisters in the ECM and measures the voltage.
The signal voltage will be high when the engine
temperature is cold, and it will be low when the engine
temperature is hot.
The output voltage ex cessively high or low, DTC P0115
(Symptom Code 1) or P0115 (Symptom Code 2) will be
stored.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
 Poor connections. 
Misrouted harness.
 Rubbed through wire insulation.
 Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:
 Poor connection at ECM-Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
 Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe
the “Coolant Temperature ” display on the Tech2 while
moving connectors and wiring harness related to the
sensor.
