Jetta GLS VR6 V6-2.8L (AFP) (2001)
Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer): Testing and Inspection
With Manufacturer's Scan Tool
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor, Checking
NOTE: The Engine Control Module (ECM) will use the intake air temperature as a replacement value for an engine start (start temperature replacement
value) as soon as there is a malfunction stored in DTC memory which affects the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor -G62-. The temperature
then rises according to a model stored in the control module. When the engine has reached normal operating temperature, a fixed replacement value will
be displayed after a certain period. This fixed value is also dependent upon the intake air temperature.
