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

[jamesortega]

so its safe to unplug the coolant temp eensor for a few mins while engine is running right?

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.

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

Hard to understand the audible voice on the video,
And don't understand why you would use this audible system anyway :(

[johnbobbitt]

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.

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.

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.

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

Every time the narrator said clips it sounded more like Clits so it was hard to pay attention! Eekkkk!

[knightlangelot]

Bad advise. Exposed paper clips connected like this can easily cause a short to the ground and fries the ECU inputs.

[spartatacticalarms]

Will this cause your temp gauge not to work properly

I have a dodge 2017 journey and cant find 2nd one

[hamoodfool]

For the single terminal sensor, what will be the voltage when the wire is not connected to the sensor?

[jakecozzz]

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.

[Super_Natural_Power]

Muted and read the subs... Anyway thanks...

How can i solve my coolant overheating problem on my Volvo a35d

[funky-landscaper]

Paper clips, they’re paper clips 🤦‍♂️
