ECT 2
ECT 2 is installed in the lower hose connector which attaches to the bottom of the thermostat. The input from this sensor is used for on-board diagnostic (OBD) 2 diagnostics and, in conjunction with the input from ECT 1, to confirm that the thermostat is functional.
If there is an ECT 2 fault, the engine control module (ECM) illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive trip.
