Diag. Code 22
Water Temp. Sensor Circuit
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The water temperature sensor senses the coolant tem-
perature. A thermistor built in the sensor changes the
resistance value according to the coolant temperature.
The lower the coolant temperature, the greater the
thermistor resistance value, and the higher the coolant
temperature, the lower the thermistor resistance value
(See Fig. 1.).
The water temperature sensor is connected to the ECU
(See next page). The 5 V power source voltage in the
ECU is applied to the water temperature sensor from the
terminal THW via a resistor R. That is, the resistor R and
the water temperature sensor are connected in series.
When the resistance value of the water temperature
sensor changes in accordance with changes in the cool-
ant temperature, the potential at the terminal THW also
changes. Based on this signal, the ECU increases the
fuel injection volume to improve driveability during cold
engine operation. If the ECU records the diagnostic
code 22, it operates the fail safe function, keeping the
coolant temperature at a constant 80
°
C (176
°
F).
