de22: Check ECT Signal for Short to Ground
Steps _Key Off, wait 10 seconds
_Harness disconnected from ECT sensor
_Disconnect processor 60 pin connector. Inspect for damaged pins, corrosion, loose wires, etc. Service as necessary.
_Install breakout box, leave processor disconnected
_DVOM on 200,000 ohm scale
_Measure resistance between Test Pin 7 and Test Pins 40, 46 and 60 at the breakout box.
Result Are all resistances greater than 10,000 ohms?
Direction YES

Replace processor. Remove breakout box. Reconnect processor and ECT harness. Rerun Quick Test

NO

Service short circuit. Remove breakout box. Reconnect processor and ECT sensor. Rerun Quick Test
