− 120 °C

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP

00

− How to Use Troubleshooting/Inspection

Service Points

− How to Cope with

Intermittent Malfunctions

P.00-13

).

NO :

Replace engine-ECU <M/T> or
engine-CVT-ECU <CVT>.

STEP 10. Perform resistance measurement at
A-121 engine coolant temperature sensor
connector.
