NOTE:
Before inspecting, be sure to check that cool-
ant temp. meter in combination meter indi-
cates normal operating temperature (Engine
is not overheating).
DTC P0115 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT) CIRCUIT
MALFUNCTION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DTC DETECTING CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSE

Low engine coolant temperature (High voltage-High resistance)

High engine coolant temperature (Low voltage-Low resistance)
“Lg / R” circuit open or shorted to power

“G” circuit open

ECT sensor malfunction

ECM (PCM) malfunction
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Clear DTC, start engine and keep it at idle for 1 min.
2) Select “DTC” mode on scan tool and check DTC.

Waveforms at specified idle speed5ms/Div
DTC DETECTING CONDITIONPOSSIBLE CAUSE

Engine under other than high revolution condition

Not on rough road

Engine speed changing rate

Manifold absolute
pressure changing rate

Throttle opening changing rate

Misfire rate per 200 or 1000 engine revolutions (how
much and how often crankshaft revolution speed
changes) is higher than specified value
Engine overheating

Vacuum leaks (air inhaling) from air intake system

Ignition system malfunction (spark plug(s), high-
tension cord(s), ignition coil assembly)

Fuel pressure out of specification

Fuel injector malfunction (clogged or leakage)

Engine compression out of specification

Valve lash (clearance) out of specification

Manifold absolute pressure sensor malfunction

Engine coolant temp. sensor malfunction

PCV valve malfunction

EVAP control system malfunction

EGR system malfunction
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Among different types of random misfire, if misfire occurs at cylinders 1 and 4 or cylinders 3 and 2 simulta-
neously, it may not possible to reconfirm DTC by using the following DTC confirmation procedure. When
diagnosing the trouble of DTC P0300 (Random misfire detected) of the engine which is apparently misfir-
ing, even if DTC P0300 cannot be reconfirmed by using the following DTC confirmation procedure, pro-
ceed to the following Diag. Flow Table.
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON.
3) Check vehicle and environmental condition for:
–Altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Intake air temp.: between –10C and 80C (14F and 176F)
–Engine coolant temp.: –10C, 14F or higher
4) Start engine and keep it at idle for 2 min. or more.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
6) If DTC is not detected at idle, consult usual driving based on information obtained in “Customer complaint analy-
sis” and “Freeze frame data check”.

4) Remove thermostat (1).
INSPECTION
1) Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clean.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
2) Check to make sure that valve seat is free from foreign matters
which would prevent valve from seating tight.
3) Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows:
Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be re-
placed with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about
overcooling or overheating tendency.
INSTALLATION
1) When positioning thermostat on thermostat case, be sure to
position it so that air bleed valve comes uppermost and into the
recession of thermostat case.
2) Install thermostat cap to thermostat case. When installing cap,
align arrow marks on cap and case.
3) Fill cooling system.
4) Connect negative cable.
5) After installation, check each part for leakage.

INSPECTION
Immerse temperature sensing part of IAT sensor in water (or ice)
and measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating
water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn’t show such characteristic as shown
in left figure, replace IAT sensor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure noting the following.

Clean mating surfaces of IAT sensor and air cleaner case.

Connect IAT sensor coupler securely.

REMOVAL
1) Disconnect battery negative cable at battery.
2) Drain coolant referring to Section 6B.
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
3) Disconnect coupler from ECT sensor.
4) Remove ECT sensor from thermostat case.
