If indication jumps to approx -40.0 degrees C.

-

End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

-

Replace Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor G62.

CAUTION:
-

Cooling system is under pressure.

-

Danger of scalding when opening.

-

Erase DTC memory for Motronic engine control module J220.  See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Scan Tool Testing and Procedures/With Generic Scan Tool/Diagnostic Mode 4: Reset/Erase Diagnostic Data

-

Generate readiness code.  See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles
and Readiness Codes/Readiness Code, Generating

If indication remains at approx 140.0 degrees C.

-

End diagnosis and switch ignition off.

Checking the wiring

-

Connect test box to Motronic Engine Control Module (ECM) J220 wiring harness.  See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes/Scan Tool Connecting/Test Box, Connecting For Wiring Test

Wiring resistance: max. 1.5 Ohms

-

Check wires for short circuit to each other, to B+ and Ground (GND).
