C15" Ect Sensor Circuit Malfunction - Suzuki DL1000 Service Manual

4-38 FI SYSTEM

"C15" ECT SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION

DETECTED CONDITION
High engine coolant temp. (Low voltage – Low
resistance)
Low engine coolant temp. (High voltage – High
resistance)
INSPECTION
• Remove the vacuum damper. (
1 Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Check the ECT sensor coupler for loose or poor contacts.
If OK, then measure the ECT sensor voltage at the wire
side coupler.
Disconnect the coupler and turn the ignition switch ON.
Measure the voltage between B/Bl wire terminal and
ground.
If OK, then measure the voltage between B/Bl wire termi-
;
nal and B/Br wire terminal.
ECT sensor voltage: 4.5 – 5.5 V

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Measure the ECT sensor resistance.

:
Z B/Bl or B/Br wire open or shorted to ground, or poor
connection. ( 4-22)
If wire and connection are OK, intermittent trouble or faulty
ECM.
Recheck each terminal and wire harness for open circuit
and poor connection. (

Replace the ECM with a new
one, and inspect it again.
