WARNING:
A hot engine can cause severe burns. Turn off the engine and wait until it is cool before removing the ECT sensor.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
2. Remove the plug hole plate. (See PLUG HOLE PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
3. Drain the engine coolant. (See ENGINE COOLANT REPLACEMENT [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
4. Pull out the evaporative hose No.1 from the catch tank and set it aside. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
5. Pull out the ventilation hose from the air hose and set it aside. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
6. Remove the clips and loosen the wiring harness. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
7. Disconnect the ECT sensor No.1 connector.
8. Remove the ECT sensor No.1. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
9. Place the ECT sensor No.1 in water with a thermometer, and heat the water gradually.
10. Measure the resistance between ECT sensor No.1 terminals A and B.Specification
If not as specified, replace the ECT sensor No.1. (See ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.5].)
