Signal Too High - Intermittent Fault






Signal too high. Intermittent fault

Checking wiring and connectors
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A40 and terminal 1 on the connector for the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Check for an intermittent open-circuit. Check for an intermittent short-circuit to supply voltage.

Hint: With the ignition on and the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal 1 and the ground terminal must be approximately 5 V.

Check the ground lead between control module terminal #A61 and terminal 2 on the connector for the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor. Check for an intermittent open-circuit.

Fault-tracing information
If the fault is intermittent, do not verify fault-tracing if the fault does not recur.
It is possible to view the information again, or leave fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
