Diag. Code 22 Water Temp. Sensor Signal
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The water temperature sensor senses the coolant temperature. The resistance value of a thermistor
built in the sensor changes according to the coolant temperature. The lower the coolant temperature,
the larger the resistance value becomes.
If diagnostic code 22 is recorded in memory, the fail safe function operates and fixes the coolant tem-
perature at a constant 80°C (176°F).
