What is MID 60 & How to Solve It?

What is MID 60:

MID 60 refers to a problem with the Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit. The ECM detects that the signal from the coolant temperature sensor is out of range, potentially causing engine overheating or performance issues.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring in the sensor circuit.
  
• Loose or corroded sensor connectors.
  
• Low coolant levels causing inaccurate readings.
  
• ECM misinterpretation of the sensor’s signal.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the engine coolant temperature sensor for damage.
   
2. Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to verify proper functionality.
   
3. Check wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
   
4. Replace the faulty sensor if necessary.
   
5. Ensure the coolant system is functioning correctly and coolant levels are maintained.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the coolant temperature sensor and wiring.
  
• Keep connectors clean and corrosion-free.
  
• Maintain proper coolant levels and perform regular coolant system maintenance.
  
• Perform routine diagnostic checks to ensure sensor accuracy.
  
• Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services monitor coolant systems to prevent overheating and ensure optimal engine operation.
