MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT sensor is used to monitor the ECT. The ECT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in the resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the ECT sensor.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the ECT. If the sensor voltage output deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the ECT sensor and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0166)
Result
2 INSPECT THERMOSTAT
Standard: 80 to 84C (176 to 183F)
HINT: In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
On-vehicle inspection
1. CONNECT INTELLIGENT TESTER
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and run at idle.
(c) Select the ACTIVE TEST mode on the intelligent
tester.
HINT:
Please refer to the intelligent tester operator's
manual for further details.

Diagnosis system
1. CHECK DLC3
The vehicle's ECU uses ISO 15765-4 for
communication protocol. The terminal arrangement
of the DLC3 complies with SAE J1962 and matches
the ISO 15765-4 format.
NOTICE:
*: Before measuring the resistance, leave the
vehicle as is for at least 1 minute and do ...
