When Monitored:
Ignition on, Engine running, and no ECT DTCs present.
Set Condition:
PCM recognizes that the ECT has failed its self coherence test. The coolanttemp should only change at a
certain rate, if this rate is too slow or too fast this fault will set. Two trip fault. Three good trips to clear MIL.
ETC light will illuminate on first trip failure.
Possible Causes
LOW COOLANT LEVEL
(K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
(K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
(K900) SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
(K2) ECT SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND

Diagnostic Test
1.ACTIVE DTC
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: If this code sets during extreme ambient temperatures, improper installation of a block heater could
be the cause of this DTC.
With a scan tool, read DTCs.
Diagnose all other ECT and Cooling System codes before continuing.

Ye s>>
Go To 2
No>>
Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2.LOW COOLANT LEVEL
NOTE: If a Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC is set along with this code,diagnose the ECT DTC first.
NOTE: Inspect the ECT terminals and related PCM terminals. Ensure the terminals are free from corrosion
and damage.
NOTE: The best way to diagnose this DTC is to allow the vehicle to sit overnight outside in order to have
a totally cold soaked engine.
NOTE: Extremely cold outside ambient temperatures may have caused this DTCtoset.
NOTE: Need to make sure that no Cooling System DTCs are set or changes that would make the warm up
much slower or much faster: broken water pump can set this, addition of aftermarket auxiliary cooler can
set this DTC.
WARNING: Never open the cooling system when the engine is hot. The system isunder pressure. Failure to
follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death. Allow the engine to cool before opening the
cooling system.
