Signal Too High. Permanent Fault

Signal too high. Permanent fault

Checking the wiring and component

Warning! Before fault-tracing can begin, the engine cooling fan (FC) connector must be disconnected to prevent the engine cooling fan (FC) engaging. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) ECM-6120 Engine cooling fan (FC) control module may be stored. After fault-tracing the connector must be reconnected.

Check the resistance of the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A4 (#A4) and engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor terminal #1. Check for a short-circuit to ground.
Remedy as necessary.

Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.








- Ignition off
- Reconnect the connectors, reinstall components etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor.





Is the temperature within its permitted range?

Yes - Verification completed

No - Fault-tracing information

Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

Do you want to exit fault-tracing?

Yes - Exit Fault-Tracing

No - Attempt New Test
