Breakout Connection:-
General Inspection:
Visual inspection (Electrical):
• Check that the connectors are properly connected and locked into position
• Disconnect and check the component connector
• Inspect pins and terminals for oxidations or corrosion
• Ensure that the pins and terminals are locked into the connectors and that they are not
pushed back out of the sockets
• Check the pins and terminal are not damaged (which can cause poor connection)
Visual inspection (Mechanical):
Check engine coolant level.
Coolant temperature value at idle rpm after 1 hour of engine running should be 95-102°C
Check whether coolant is mixed with oil.
Check the radiator for any damaged.
Check if the expansion coolant tank is contaminated.
Check that the radiator and charge air cooler are not chocked with prevents air flow.
Inspection using Fault code status check:
• If there is a short circuit DTC in the ECU, to identify whether the fault is in wiring harness or
the sensor, disconnect the component connector, (creating open circuit) and re-read fault
code status to see if status changes (where applicable).
If the fault code changes i.e. open circuit DTC occurs, issue is with the internal circuit of the
component
If the fault code does not change, issue is with the wiring harness
Connect a new sensor with the ECU and check whether the fault gets erased
If the fault code gets erased, issue is with the internal circuit of the component
If the fault code does not change, issue is with the wiring harness.
