TROUBLESHOOTING STEPS
Step 1A) Turn key switch ON and read the fault codes using the diagnostic tool.
Step 1B) Turn key switch ON and read the fault codes using the diagnostic tool.
Fault Codes 122, 123, 135, 141, 153, and 352 inactive?
Step 2A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Inspect the harness and the sensor connector pins for the following:
• Loose connector
• Corroded pins
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged connector seals
• Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
• Connector shell broken
• Wire insulation damage
• Damaged connector locking tab
Damaged pins?
Step 2B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Check the resistance of the coolant temperature sensor. Measure the resistance from pin A to pin B of the
coolant temperature sensor.

175 to 244k ohms?
Step 2C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Check for a short circuit to ground. Measure the resistance from pin A of the coolant temperature sensor to
engine block ground.

Step 3A) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Inspect the engine harness and the ECM connector pins for the following:
• Loose connector
• Corroded pins
• Bent or broken pins
• Pushed back or expanded pins
• Moisture in or on the connector
• Missing or damaged connector seals
• Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
• Connector shell broken
• Wire insulation damage
• Damaged connector locking tab
Damaged pins?
Step 3B) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Check for an open circuit. Measure the resistance from pin 19
of the engine harness to pin A on the harness side of the coolant temperature sensor connector. Measure
the resistance from pin 23 of the engine harness to pin B on the harness side of the coolant temperature
sensor.
Step 3C) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit to ground. Measure the resistance
from pin 23 of the engine harness to engine block ground. Measure the resistance from pin 19 of the engine
harness to engine block ground.

More than 100k ohms?
Step 3D) Turn key switch OFF and disconnect the engine harness from the coolant temperature sensor.
Disconnect the engine harness from the ECM. Check for a short circuit from pin to pin. Measure the
resistance from pin 23 of the engine harness to all other pins in the engine harness. Measure the resistance
from pin 19 of the engine harness to all other pins in the engine harness.
Step 4A) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Disable the fault code. Start the engine, and let it
idle for 1 minute. Verify that Fault Code 145 is inactive.

Fault Code 145 inactive?
Step 4B) Connect all components and turn key switch ON. Clear the inactive fault codes using the
diagnostic tool.
