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.

Data list
HINT:
Reading the DATA LIST displayed on an intelligent tester
enables values, including those of the switches, sensors,
and actuators, to be checked without removing any
parts. Reading the DATA LIST as the first step in
troubleshooting is one method to shorten diagnostic
time.
