Okay, so here's my predicament. I just did a jdm b16 swap into my 92 hatch, and the cel is on. I pulled the code and it's #6, which is for the ect sensor. My radiator fan wasn't coming on, so I replaced the ect switch, and my fan now turns on. My only problem is my cel still shows that my problem is #6, which is the ect sensor. Any ideas guys? The part circled is the ect sensor I believe, and the arrow leads to the switch that I replaced. Do I possibly need a new sensor as well, and I also added the video that shows the code. Thanks for any help guys.

Did you reset the ECU?

 

Yeah, I disconnected the positive and negative battery terminal for like 4-5 minutes. The cel came back for #6. I even took out the 7.5 amp back-up fuse for like 4-5 minutes too, but no luck. Maybe it didn't have enough time to reset?

 

Well, it says in the haynes manual that once the circuit is interupted via the 7.5a backup fuse it resets the ECU. I had a problem with a CEL 4 (CKP sensor) the other day after i did my wire tuck and i had an idle surge, reseting it didnt work, then it just went away, like it fixed itself? i added coolant and my idle surge went away.. idk wtf happened but im glad its fixed. lol

 

LOL, maybe mine will fix itself too, because the fan works now. I can't complain too much I guess.

 

yea try topping it off with coolant too, mine seemed to like that alot. lol

 

Yes, the ECT sensor is below and forward of the distributor and has a 2-wire connector. When the engine is fully warm, turn the engine off, unplug the ECT sensor, and measure the resistance across the two terminals of the sensor itself. It should read from 200-400 Ohms. If not, the sensor is bad. If so, use a digital multimeter to test the two ECT wires for an open or short.

 

Aha aite. Anyone else wanna chime in?

 

upupup

 

he told you what to do, what more do you need?
