MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT sensor is used to monitor the ECT. The ECT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in the resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the ECT sensor.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the ECT. If the sensor voltage output deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the ECT sensor and sets the DTC.

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0166)
Result
2 INSPECT THERMOSTAT
Standard: 80 to 84C (176 to 183F)
HINT: In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Reassembly
1. Install lower radiator tank
(a) After checking that there are no foreign objects in
the lock plate groove, install a new O-ring without
twisting it.
HINT:
When cleaning the lock plate groove, lightly rub it
with sandpaper without scratching it.
(b) Tap the lock plate with a plastic ...
VSC Warning Light does not Come ON
DESCRIPTION
The skid control ECU is connected to the combination meter via CAN and
multiplex communications.
If the skid control ECU stores DTCs to shut down TRAC and VSC operation, the VSC
warning light comes
on in the combination meter.

1. CHECK DRIVER SIDE J/B ASSEMBLY (MULTIPLEX NETWORK BODY ECU)
Disconnect the 1C, 1J, 1L, 1K, 1P, B6, B7 and B9 J/
B connectors.
Measure the voltage and resistance according to
the value(s) in the table below.
