Troubleshooting PID 110
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is mounted on the front connector housing toward the front of the cylinder block directly below the oil separator on the MBE 900 engines (see Figure "Location of Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor on the MBE 900 Engine" ) and on the side of cylinder block between units pumps No. 2 and 3 on the MBE 4000 engines (see Figure "Location of Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor on the MBE 4000 Engine" ).

- If fault 110 03 is active in addition to 110 00, refer to "11.2.2 110 03 – Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Open Circuit" .
- If fault 110 04 is active in addition to 110 00, refer to "11.2.3 110 04 – Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Short to Ground" .
- If fault 111 01 is active in addition to 110 00, refer to "12.2.1 111 01 – Engine Coolant Level Low" .
- If only fault code 110 00 is active, refer to "11.2.1.1 Required Action" .
Section 11.2.1.1
Required Action
Perform the following steps to resolve a coolant temperature high fault. Repair or replace, as required.
- Check for coolant loss.

110 03 – Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Open Circuit
Perform the following steps to troubleshoot a coolant temperature sensor open circuit fault:
- If faults 105 03 and 110 03 are active at the same time, refer to "10.2.1 105 03 – Intake Air Temperature Sensor Open Circuit" .
- If faults 105 03 and 110 03 are not active at the same time, go to step 3 .
- Bridge ECT sensor pins 1 and 2. See Figure
"Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Wiring"
.
Figure 4. Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Wiring
- If fault code 110 04 is not the only active code, go to step 4 .
- If fault code 110 04 is the only active code, replace the ECT sensor.
- Erase fault code memory.
- Bridge pin 1 of the ECT sensor to ground. See Figure
"Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Wiring"
.
- If fault code 110 04 is still active, repair open circuit in wire between pin 34 of the 55-pin connector and pin 1 of the coolant temperature sensor.
- If fault code 110 04 is no longer active, see below.
- Erase fault code memory.
- Check the resistance between pin 3 of the 55-pin connector and pin 2 of the ECT sensor. See Figure
"Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Wiring"
.
- If resistance is greater than 3 Ω, refer to "11.2.2.1 Required Action" .
- If resistance is less than 3 Ω, refer to "11.2.2.2 Required Action" .
