Check the cooling system coolant level.

Is the coolant in the reservoir at the proper level?

YES

▶ Go to next step as below

NO

▶ Repair or add engine coolant as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

Check if the thermostat bypass valve is stuck in the open position or if the correct type of thermostat was installed. Replace thermostat as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure

Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat

Specification(Valve opening temperature) : 80~84°C(176~183°F):

If the opening temperature is not as specified, Replace thermostat as necessary and go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure.

If OK, go to next step as below

Ignition "OFF"

Disconnect ECTS connector

Measure resistance between terminals 1 and 3 of the sensor connector(Component side)

1)

Specification :

Temp. (°C)	Temp. (°F)	Resistance (kΩ)	Temp. (°C)	Temp. (°F)	Resistance (kΩ)
-20	-4	14.1 ~ 16.8	40	104	Approx. 1.2
0	32	Approx. 5.8	60	140	Approx. 0.6
20	68	2.3 ~ 2.6	80	176	Approx. 0.3

Is resistance within the specification?

YES

▶ Go to next step as below

NO

▶ Check ECTS for contamination, deterioration, or damage. Substitute with a known-good ECTS and check for proper operation. If the problem is corrected, replace ECTS and then go to "Verification of Vehicle Repair" procedure
