Vehicle On-Board & Scan Tool Diagnostics

Check for loss of DTC memory by disconnecting the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and idling the engine until the MIL turns ON. An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) DTC should store and remain in memory when turning OFF the ignition for at least 10 seconds. If not, the PCM is malfunctioning.
