Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

METER / GAUGE / DISPLAY: METER / GAUGE SYSTEM: Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

Engine Coolant Temperature Receiver Gauge Malfunction

DESCRIPTION

In this circuit, the meter CPU receives engine coolant temperature signals from the ECM using the CAN communication system (CAN No. 1 Bus). The meter CPU displays engine coolant temperature that is calculated based on the data received from the ECM.

1. for 2GR-FE





2. for 1AR-FE





INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM stores the DTCs. Refer to troubleshoot SFI System Engine Control System - SFI System for 2GR-FE, Engine Control System - SFI System for 1AR-FE).

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
(a) Check if a CAN communication DTC is output Diagnosis System.
Result:





B -- GO TO CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
A -- Continue to next step.

2. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (WATER TEMPERATURE METER OPERATION)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Active Test.
(e) Check the operation by referring to the table below.

Combination Meter





OK:
Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication is normal.

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

3. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List.
(e) Check the values by referring to the table below.

Combination Meter





OK:
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as engine coolant temperature receiver gauge indication.

NG -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMP)
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List.
(e) Check the values by referring to the table below.

Engine and ECT (for 2GR-FE)





Engine and ECT (for 1AR-FE)





OK:
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the Techstream is almost the same as the Techstream indication (Body Electrical / Combination Meter / Data List).
Result:





C -- REPLACE ECM (for 1AR-FE)
B -- REPLACE ECM (for 2GR-FE)
A -- REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
