DTC P0128 COOLANT THERMOSTAT (COOLANT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
This DTC is output when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) does not reach 75°C (167°F) despite suffi-
cient engine warm-up time.
DTC No.DTC Detection ConditionTrouble Area

(b) Sufficient warm-up time has elapsed
(c) ECT is less than 75°C (167°F)Thermostat
Cooling system
ECT sensor
ECM
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the coolant temperature based on starting temperature, engine loads, and engine
speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated cool-
ant temperature reaches 75C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75C
(167F), the ECM will interpret this as a fault in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and set a DTC.

Refer to page 05-24 for detailed information.
The test value and test limit information are described as shown in the following table. Check the monitor
result and test values after performing the monitor drive pattern (see page 05-26).
TID (Test Identification Data) is assigned to each emissions-related component.
TLT (Test Limit Type):
If TLT is 0, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is higher than the test limit.
If TLT is 1, the component is malfunctioning when the test value is lower than the test limit.
CID (Component Identification Data) is assigned to each test value.
Unit Conversion is used to calculate the test value indicated on generic OBD ll scan tools.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help deter-
mine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean
or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1 CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
(a) Check the cooling system for excessive cooling, such as abnormal radiator fan operation, modified
cooling system and other defects.
NG REPAIR OR REPLACE COOLING SYSTEM
OK
2 INSPECT THERMOSTAT (See page 16-2)
(a) Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.
OK:
Valve opening temperature: 80 to 84C (176 to 183F)
HINT:
Also check that the valve is completely closed under opening temperature as above.
NG REPLACE THERMOSTAT(See page 16-1 1)
OK
REPLACE ECM(See page 10-9)

DTC P0136 OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION
(BANK 1 SENSOR 2)
DTC P0137 OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT LOW VOLTAGE
(BANK 1 SENSOR 2)
DTC P0138 OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE
(BANK 1 SENSOR 2)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) is used to monitor oxygen in the exhaust gas. For optimum catalyst op-
eration, the air fuel mixture (air-fuel ratio) must be maintained near the ideal stoichiometric ratio. The HO2S
output voltage changes suddenly in the vicinity of the stoichiometric ratio. The ECM adjusts the fuel injection
time so that the air-fuel ratio is nearly stoichiometric.
The HO2S generates a voltage between 0.1 and 0.9 V in response to oxygen in the exhaust gas. If the oxy-
gen in the exhaust gas increases, the air-fuel ratio becomes Lean. The ECM interprets Lean when the HO2S
voltage is below 0.45 V. If the oxygen in the exhaust gas decreases, the air-fuel ratio becomes Rich. The
ECM interprets Rich when the HO2S voltage is above 0.45 V.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the rear heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) in the following 4 items:
1. The HO2S voltage changes between Rich (more than 0.45 V) and Lean (less than 0.45 V) while the vehicle
is running (repeating acceleration and deceleration) for 8 minutes. If not, the ECM interprets this as a mal-
function, illuminates the MIL, and then sets a DTC.
2. The HO2S voltage does not remain at less than 0.05 V for a long time while the vehicle is running (60 %
of the time in the 220 second-monitor, the sensor output is less than 0.05 V). If it does, the ECM interprets
this as a malfunction, illuminates the MIL, and then sets a DTC.
3. The sensor's voltage drops to below 0.2 V (extremely Lean status) immediately when the vehicle deceler-
ates and the fuel cut is working for 7 seconds. If not, the ECM interprets this to mean the sensor's response
feature has deteriorated, illuminates the MIL, and then sets a DTC.
4. The rear oxygen sensor impedance is 5 W or less, 15 kW or more, or output voltage is 1.2 V or more (normal
voltage: 0 to 1.0 V). If so, the ECM will determine that the rear oxygen sensor or a related circuit has an open
or short circuit, illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC.
Impedance is detected by the IC inside the ECM.
