System Schematic For Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (ECTS)The EMCP II+ monitors the engine coolant temperature in order to protect the engine from a problem with the coolant temperature. The coolant temperature sensor is mounted in the water jacket, close to the front of the engine. The exact location of the engine coolant temperature sensor varies depending on the engine model.The sensor is powered by an 8 volt sensor supply from the GSC+. The coolant temperature signal is a pulse width modulated signal. The base frequency of the signal is 455 Hz (370 to 550 Hz). As temperature changes, the duty cycle of the signal varies from 10 to 95 percent.
−40°C (−40°F) is approximately 10% of the duty cycle. The voltage is approximately 1.0 DCV.
135°C (275°F) is approximately 93% of the duty cycle.System Response:Note: The GSC+ is usually programmed to treat a fault with the coolant temperature sensor as an alarm fault. P004is set to 0 for the factory default. The GSC+ is programmed to shutdown when P004 is set to 1. If the GSC+ is programmed to shutdown for a fault with the coolant temperature sensor, then the operator is not required to press the "Alarm Codes" key in order to view the CID 0110 FMI 03. The CID 0110 FMI 03 is automatically shown on the upper display.The possible causes of a CID 0110 FMI 03 fault are listed below:
A short to +battery of the sensor signal.
An open circuit of the sensor signal.Begin performing these procedures only when CID 0110 FMI 03 is showing and the "DIAG" indicator is FLASHING on the upper display. The flashing "DIAG" indicator means that the fault is active. The GSC+ treats a CID 0110 FMI 03 fault as an alarm fault. Active alarm faults are shown on the display when the "Alarm Codes" key is pressed and the engine control switch (ECS) is in any position except the OFF/RESET position. For an inactive fault, use the preceding system schematic and see Testing And Adjusting, "Electrical Connector - Inspect". Clear the fault from the fault log after troubleshooting is complete.Note: If a diagnostic code for the sensor supply (CID 0269) is active, correct the diagnostic code for the sensor supply prior to proceeding with this procedure.Test Step 1. CHECK THE SUPPLY CIRCUIT.
Turn the ECS to OFF/RESET and then turn the ECS to the STOP position.
Disconnect the sensor from the engine harness. The sensor remains fastened to the engine.
At the engine harness side of the sensor connector, measure the voltage (DCV) that is between contact "A" and contact "B". Contact "A" is the supply for the sensor. Contact "B" is the ground for the sensor.Expected Result:The voltage should be 8.0 0.5 DCV.Results:
OK - The voltage is 8.0 0.5 DCV. The sensor voltage supply circuit functions properly. Proceed to Test Step 2.
NOT OK - The voltage is not 8.0 0.5 DCV. The sensor voltage supply circuit has failed. Check the upper display for a diagnostic code for the sensor supply
