DTC 22 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit Malfunction |
DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature sensor senses the coolant temperature. A thermistor built into the sensor changes the resistance value according to the coolant temperature. The lower the coolant temperature, the greater the thermistor resistance value, and the higher the coolant temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value (see Fig. 1).The engine coolant temperature sensor is connected to the ECM. The 5 V power source voltage in the ECM is applied to the engine coolant temperature sensor from the terminal THW via resistor R. That is, the resistor R and the engine coolant temperature sensor are connected in series. When the resistance value of the engine coolant temperature sensor changes in accordance with changes in the coolant temperature, the potential at the terminal THW also changes. Based on this signal, the ECM increases the fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold engine operation.

WIRING DIAGRAM
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- HINT:
- If DTCs that are related to different systems are output simultaneously while terminal E2 is used as a ground terminal, terminal E2 may be open.
- Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
When using intelligent tester:
1.READ VALUE USING INTELLIGENT TESTER (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) |
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch ON.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.

- HINT:
- When DTC 22 is present, the type of malfunction can be determined based on the engine coolant temperature (see below).
