INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
If there is an open or short in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, the ECM outputs the DTCs. Perform troubleshooting with the "SFI System" (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000PDF0C4X.html for 2AZ-FE, CAMRY_ACV40 RM000002DSC01VX.html for 2GR-FE).
1.CHECK CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

  1. Check if CAN communication DTC is output (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000WIB09JX.htmlfor LHD, CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000WIB09KX.html for RHD).

    Result:

2.PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING INTELLIGENT TESTER

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Diagnosis / OBD/MOBD / Combination Meter / Active Test.

  1. Check the values by referring to the operation in the table below.

    Combination Meter:
    Tester Display
    		Test Part
    		Control Range
    		Normal Condition
    Water Temperature Meter Operation
    		Engine coolant temperature receiver gauge
    		Low, Normal, High
    		-
    OK:
    Needle indication is normal.

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY
OK


3.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Diagnosis / OBD/MOBD / Combination Meter / Data List.


Combination Meter:
Tester Display
Measurement Item/Range
Normal Condition
Diagnostic Note
Coolant Temperature
Engine coolant temperature: 0°C (-40°F) to 127.5°C (284°F)
After warming up: 80 to 95°C (176 to 203°F)
  1. If -40°C (-40°F): sensor circuit open
  1. If 140°C (284°F) or more: sensor circuit shorted
OK:
Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication.


NG
Go to step 4
OK

REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

4.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.

  1. Turn the tester ON.

  1. Enter the following menus: Diagnosis / OBD/MOBD / Engine / Data List.

  1. Check the values by referring to the values in the table below.

    Engine:
    Tester Display
    		Measurement Item/Range
    		Normal Condition
    		Diagnostic Note
    Coolant Temp
    		Engine coolant temperature: -40°C (-40°F) to 140°C (284°F)
    		80 to 100°C (176 to 212°F):
    After warming up
    1. If -40°C (-40°F): sensor circuit open
    1. If 140°C (284°F) or more: sensor circuit shorted
    OK:
    Engine coolant temperature value displayed on the tester is almost the same as needle indication.


NG
REPLACE ECM
OK


5.REPLACE COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY

  1. Replace the combination meter assembly with a new or a normal one.

OK:
The operation of the combination meter assembly returns to normal.
