Section 14.3.4
Check for Signal Short to +5 Volt Line

Perform the following steps to check for a short to the +5 volt line.‪

1. Turn ignition OFF.
2. Remove jumper wire.
3. Disconnect the engine harness connector at the ECM.
4. Measure resistance between sockets P3 #133 and W1 #416 on the engine harness connector. See Figure "ECM Engine Harness Connector" .
   1. If the resistance measurement is greater than 5 Ω or open, refer to "14.3.6 Check Coolant Temperature Sensor Connectors" .
   2. If the resistance measurement is less than or equal to 5 Ω, the signal line (#133) is shorted to the engine +5 volt line (#416). Repair the short and refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .

Section 14.3.5
Check for Signal Short to +5 Volt Line

Perform the following steps to check for a short to the +5 volt line.‪

1. Turn vehicle ignition OFF.
2. Remove jumper wire.
3. Disconnect the engine harness connector at the ECM.
4. Measure resistance between sockets R2 #120 and W1 #416 on the engine harness connector. See Figure "ECM Engine Harness Connector" .
   1. If the resistance measurement is greater than or equal to 5 Ω, refer to "14.3.7 Check Oil Temperature Sensor Connectors" .
   2. If the resistance measurement is less than 5 Ω, the signal line (#120) is shorted to the engine +5 volt line (#416). Repair the short and refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .

Section 14.3.6
Check Coolant Temperature Sensor Connectors

Perform the following steps to check the CTS connectors.‪

1. Check terminals at the CTS connector (both sensor and harness side) for damage; bent, corroded and unseated pins or sockets. See Figure "Temperature Sensor Circuits" .
   1. If terminals and connectors are in good condition, replace the CTS. Refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .
   2. If the terminals and connectors are damaged, repair them. Refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .

Section 14.3.7
Check Oil Temperature Sensor Connectors

Perform the following steps to check the OTS connectors.‪

1. Check terminals at the OTS connector (both sensor and harness side) for damage: bent, corroded and unseated pins or sockets. See Figure "Temperature Sensor Circuits" .
   1. If terminals or connectors are damaged, repair them. Refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .
   2. If terminals and connectors are not damaged, replace the OTS. Refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .

Open Line Check

Perform the following steps to check for an open line.‪

1. Turn ignition OFF.
2. Disconnect the engine harness connector at the ECM. Leave the jumper wire between A and B of the Temperature Sensor Connector.
3. Measure resistance between sockets P3 (#133) and Y2 (#452) on the engine harness connector. See Figure "ECM Engine Harness Connector" .
   1. If the resistance measurement is less than or equal to 5 Ω, refer to "14.3.10 Check ECM Connectors" .
   2. If the resistance measurement is greater than 5 Ω or open, the signal line (#133) or return line (#452) is open. Repair the open. Refer to "14.3.11 Verify Repairs" .
