Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, Checking
WARNING
Do not use this procedure or replace Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -G62- if no fault codes are
stored or fault codes unrelated to coolant system are present.
Check vehicle history, if Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -G62- has already been replaced, it is not
likely to be defective.
Before completing repair, see note below regarding fault code information and other possible causes.
Note:
If DTCs P1296, P2181, P0128 or P3081 are occurring without electrical faults (P0116-P0118) and replacement of
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor -G62- and its terminals repaired, check thermostat and cooling system for
proper operation.
Ensure fan control unit part no. is valid for vehicle, if equipped. Always see ETKA for the latest part(s) information.
Tip:
The Engine Control Module (ECM) will use a replacement temperature value for an engine start as soon as there
is a DTC stored in the DTC memory which affects the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -G62-. The
temperature then rises according to a model stored in the ECM. When the engine has reached normal working
temperature a fixed replacement value will be displayed after a certain period. This fixed value is also dependent
on intake air temperature.
Note:
Only gold-plated terminals must be used to repair the terminals in the wiring harness connector for the Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor -G62-.

Technical Bulletin
Checking Conditions
1. Fuses of Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) -J220- must be valid. See ElsaWeb; Electrical Wiring
Diagrams, Troubleshooting and Component Locations.
2. Parking brake must be engaged or daylight running lights will be switched ON.
3. For vehicles with automatic transmission, selector lever must be in Park position.
Test Sequence
Note:
While following tests in this Technical Bulletin, always visually inspect terminals of electrical connectors for
damage, corrosion and secure fit. Repair as necessary.
• Input "4" on keypad to select "Display group 4" or "7" for "Display group 7" (as indicated in above table).
See Service.
• Read coolant temperature value in "Field 3" or "Field 4" (as indicated in above table). See Service.
Approx. - 40°C (- 40°F) Open Circuit or Short Proceed to "Continuation of Check When Display Approx. - 40°C (- 40°F)" of this
to Positive Technical Bulletin. (See below)
Approx. 145°C (293°F) Short to Ground Proceed to "Continuation of Check When Display Approx. 140°C (284°F)" of this
Technical Bulletin. (See below)
¹) If a temperature is displayed which deviates greatly from the ambient temperature of the sensor; -G62- sensor
or its wiring have high resistance or a short to B+.

Technical Bulletin
Tip:
Continue:
Start engine and run at idle speed. Observe temperature value for uniform consistent increase until 85°C (185°F)
is attained.
If irregular engine running occurs in certain temperature ranges or the temperature figure changes
erratically, the temperature signal is temporarily interrupted and the sensor must be replaced.
Tip:
If temperature display rises uniformly and all specifications are normal. Proceed to "-G62- Resistance
Measurement" (see below).

Checking Wiring
Tip:
Refer to applicable Repair Manual section for instructions regarding engine or diesel control module access.
• Connect correct VAG 1598 test box, (as indicated in above table). See
Service, to control module wiring harness. Engine control module is not
connected by this action.
Note:
• Check wire for open circuit between VAG 1598 test box and VAS 5258 according to wiring diagram.
