Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor 1 Malfunction Slow Response

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor 1 Malfunction Slow Response

Description

As the engine coolant warms, the ECT sensor 1 resistance decreases, and the PCM detects a low signal voltage. If the ECT sensor 1 output voltage does not reach a specified temperature at which closed-loop control for stoichiometric air fuel ratio starts within a set time, depending on the initial coolant temperature after starting the engine, the PCM detects a malfunction. NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot.

Cause and Solution

Poor connections or loose terminals at ECT sensor 1, ECT sensor 2, and the PCM Low coolant level Faulty thermostat Faulty ECT sensor (1) Faulty PCM
