YES : Repair harness wire between engine coolant 

temperature sensor connector A-67 (terminal No. 1) 
and PCM connector C-90 (terminal No. 44) because 
of open circuit. Then go to Step 11.

NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 6. Check connector C-90 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness

STEP 7. Check for continuity at engine coolant 
temperature sensor harness side connector A-67.
(1) Disconnect the connector A-67 and measure at the harness 

side.

(2) Check for the continuity between terminal No. 2 and 

ground.

• Should be less than 2 ohms.

Q: Does continuity exist?

YES : Go to Step 10.
NO :  Go to Step 8.

STEP 8. Check connector C-90 at PCM for damage.
Q: Is the connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 9.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 9. Check for open circuit between engine coolant 
temperature sensor connector A-67 (terminal No. 2) and 
PCM connector C-90 (terminal No. 57).

NOTE: Check harness after checking intermediate connector 
C-71. If intermediate connector is damaged, repair or replace it. 
Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness Connector Inspection

P.00E-2

. 

Then go to Step 11.
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 11.

STEP 10. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor.
(1) Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor 

connector A-67.

(2) Remove the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(3) With the temperature sensing portion of engine coolant 

temperature sensor immersed in hot water, check 
resistance.

Standard value:

14 

− 17 kΩ [at −20°C (−4°F)]

5.1 

− 6.5 kΩ [at 0°C (32°F)]

2.1 

− 2.7 kΩ [at 20°C (68°F)]

0.9 

− 1.3 kΩ [at 40°C (104°F)]

0.48 

− 0.68 kΩ [at 60°C (140°F)]

0.26 

− 0.36 kΩ [at 80°C (176°F)]

(4) Apply 3M

 AAD part number 8731 or equivalent on the 

screw section of the engine coolant temperature sensor.

(5) Install the engine coolant temperature sensor, and tighten 

to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 29 

± 10 N⋅m (22 ± 7 ft-lb)

Q: Is the resistance at the standard value?

YES : Replace the PCM. Then go to Step 11.
NO :  Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Then 

go to Step 11.

STEP 11. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Procedure 6 − 

Other Monitor 

P.13A-4

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0118 set?

YES : Repeat the troubleshooting.
NO :  The procedure is complete.
