CODE 14

COOLANT SENSOR

(SIGNAL VOLTAGE LOW)

2.0L "J" SERIES

FUEL INJECTION (TBI)
The Coolant Temperature Sensor uses a thermistor to control the signal voltage to the ECM. The ECM applies a voltage on CKT 410 to the sensor. When the engine is cold the sensor (thermistor) resistance is high, therefore the ECM will see high signal voltage on CKT 410.
As the engine warms, the sensor resitance becomes less, and the voltage drops. At normal operating temperature the the voltage will measure about 1 to 1.5 volts at the ECM terminal C10.
Code 14 will set if signal voltage indicates a coolant temperature above 135°C (275°F) for more than 10 (ten) seconds.
Coolant temperature is one of the inputs used to control:
a. Fuel delivery.
b. Engine Timing (EST)
c. Idle (IAC)
d. Convertor Clutch (TCC)
1. If voltage is above 4 volts, the ECM and wiring are OK.
