Re: 96 Saturn inspection monitors won't clear

Bad ECTS. Replace it with a brass one. Also check the connector for corrosion and replace if needed.

Once the ECTS is brass, normal operating temps should be read to be 3/8ths on the gauge or 195F from a scanner. If they are less than that, it indicates your thermostat is bad and needs to be replaced.

If the ECTS is cracked, or the thermostat is wrong then the monitor tests will not start untill normal operating temps are reached.
