will this test work for both ect ? how do you know which ect you need to test? for example i want to test the ect that controls gas/air ratio, so which of the 2 ect do i test
In my case.. In captiva 2010 obd was showing coolant temperature issue( p0118).there was black smoke, ac was not working, no present temperature was shown in dashboard, engine was getting rise on starting for 2-3seconds, and engine fault sign was shown on cluster. And every time engine cooling fan was ON. Fault was wire was unplugged of temperature sensor after plugging problem was solved. So the position of that sensor was top of engine side near some big hosepipe. Hope this will help for others.
Good educational video, now I know how the ECT sensor works, no matter the criticisms, the objective is to learn how things work, how it already depends on each one
Safer bet to stick the clips into the socket & measure the voltage OFF load. Ought to be around 5 Volts. Then check resistance of the sensor itself. Around 2500 Ohms at room temperature.
I'm haveing this trouble with my 1.8tfsi can you help me When I start to drive the responce is good but soon as I take my foot of the gass it almost kangaroos I turn the car off and back on and it's fine the temp is bang on and fans kick in but I've done alot of servicing and sensor chages so far and dont wanna change out another sensor and it's not that meny thanks
Riiiight. Cuz this applies to every year, make, and model car ever made. Why do the video if you’re gonna overlook (and not fix) that part of it? Like turning in your college exams without your name on them.
Hi thanks for the advice very useful its a shame so many people just want to moan I am going to check mine now it may be the problem and you have to change complete thermostat unit in my motor so well helpful to know this check first Be mello Garry
Its a thermistor ? variable resistor with temp, how do you measure voltage from an open cct thermistor ? You sure its not a thermocouple ? that would explain an open circuit voltage. I bought a new one and no open cct voltage. That means u need to measure resistance on open circuit thermistor and not voltage.
Umm you do realize that there’s a resistor in line that doesn’t allow it to damage the ecu dont you? Or were you sleeping in class when they covered that part?
Thanks for the help but I think the least of this cars worries is the ECT hahaha foreal thou thank you I'm not a mechanic and don't have the money for one.
@@paulbester7097 I replaced the single wire sensor and now my temp gauge works. Now, on to finding the two wire so my electric cooling fan will work. :-0)
This is great, but next time you make a video, how bout YOU narrating it. AI voices are VERY annoying, especially when we're trying to focus on what YOU are doing.
I agree, I dont have a good scanner and I have to go to the dealer to check sensor. The guy I am going to works on most of the 370Z's in my county. We will see.
