id0102t5701600

Outline

System malfunction location

ECT sensor circuit low input

Detection condition

•  With the following conditions met, the ECT sensor output voltage is less than 0.07 V for a continuous 2 s.

―  Battery voltage: 8—16 V

―  0.5 s have elapsed after ignition is switched ON (engine off or on)

Fail-safe

•  PCM restricts engine torque.

•  Limits the maximum engine speed.

•  Inhibits the DENOx/DESOx control.

•  Inhibits the diesel particulate filter regeneration control.

•  Inhibits the EGR control.

•  PCM restricts engine-transaxle integration control. (ATX)

•  Inhibits engine-stop by operating the i-stop function.

Possible cause

•  Overheat

•  ECT sensor connector or terminal malfunction

•  ECT sensor malfunction

•  Short to ground in ECT sensor signal circuit

•  PCM connector or terminal malfunction

•  Short circuit in ECT sensor signal circuit and ground circuit

•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic Procedure

Step

Inspection

Results

Action

1

RECORD VEHICLE STATUS WHEN DTC WAS DETECTED TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION

•  Record the freeze frame data/snapshot data.

Note

•  Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.

Go to the next step.

2

VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION OR SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY

•  Verify related Service Bulletins, on-line repair information, or Service Information availability.

•  Is any related Information available?

Yes

Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available information.

•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.

No

Go to the next step.

3

VERIFY IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY OVERHEATING

•  Verify the vehicle engine condition.

•  Is the engine overheating?

Yes

Perform malfunction diagnosis according to COOLING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (OVERHEAT)].

(See COOLING SYSTEM CONCERNS-OVERHEATING [SKYACTIV-D])

No

Go to the next step.

4

INSPECT ECT SENSOR CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION

•  Inspect the applicable connector and terminal.
(See CONNECTOR INSPECTION.)

•  Are the connector and terminal normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.

5

DETERMINE IF MALFUNCTION IS CAUSED BY ECT SENSOR MALFUNCTION OR WIRING HARNESS SIDE MALFUNCTION

•  Verify that the ECT sensor connector is disconnected.

•  Switch the ignition ON (engine off).

Note

•  Another DTC may be stored by the PCM detecting an open circuit.

•  Measure the voltage at ECT sensor terminal A (vehicle wiring harness side).

•  Is the voltage approx. 5 V?

Yes

Replace the ECT sensor, then go to repair completion verification.

(See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.8])

No

Go to the next step.

6

INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR FOR MALFUNCTION

•  Inspect the applicable connector and terminal.
(See CONNECTOR INSPECTION.)

•  Are the connector and terminal normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.

7

INSPECT ECT SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND

•  Inspect the applicable circuit for a short to ground.
(See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)

•  Is the circuit normal?

Yes

Go to the next step.

No

Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.

8

INSPECT ECT SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT AND SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT CIRCUIT

•  Inspect the applicable circuits for a short circuit.
(See CIRCUIT INSPECTION.)

•  Is the circuit normal?

Yes

Go to repair completion verification.

No

Repair or replace the malfunctioning location and perform the repair completion verification.

Repair completion verification 1

VERIFY THAT VEHICLE IS REPAIRED

•  Install/connect the part removed/disconnected during the troubleshooting procedure.

•  Clear the DTC recorded in the memory.
(See CLEARING DTC.)

•  Replicate the vehicle conditions at the time the DTC was detected using the following procedure.

―  Perform the KOEO or KOER self-test.
(See DTC INSPECTION)

•  Perform the DTC inspection for the PCM.
(See DTC INSPECTION.)

•  Is the same Pending DTC present?

Yes

Refer to the controller area network (CAN) malfunction diagnosis flow to inspect for a CAN communication error.

(See CONTROLLER AREA NETWORK (CAN) MALFUNCTION DIAGNOSIS FLOW [(E)].)

If the CAN communication is normal, perform the diagnosis from Step 1.

•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM, then go to the next step.
(See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-D 1.8].)

No

Go to the next step.

Repair completion verification 2

VERIFY IF OTHER DTCs DISPLAYED

•  Perform the DTC inspection.
(See DTC INSPECTION.)

•  Are any other DTCs displayed?

Yes

Repair the malfunctioning location according to the applicable DTC troubleshooting.

No

DTC troubleshooting completed.
