Is there 1 M? or more?

     
YES
     
     
     
The TW2/TW2 SENSOR wire is OK. Check for any authorized service information related to the DTCs or symptoms you are troubleshooting, or substitute a known-good PCM, then recheck. If DTC P2182 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM.?
     
NO
     
     
     
Repair a short in the TW2/TW2 SENSOR wire between PCM connector No. 1 terminal No. 85 and ECT sensor 2.?
