Engine coolant temperature sensor
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECT
sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. When
the coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the
resistance drops. The variations in resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the sensor. The ECM
monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. When the sen-
sor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ECT
sensor and sets a DTC.
Examples:
(1) Upon starting the engine, the ECT is between 35°C (95°F) and 60°C (140°F). If after driving for 250 sec.,
the ECT still remains within 3°C (5.4°F) of the starting temperature, a DTC will be set (2 trip detection logic).
(2) Upon starting the engine, the ECT is over 60°C (140°F). If after driving for 250 sec., the ECT still remains
within 1°C (1.8°F) of the starting temperature, a DTC will be set (6 trip detection logic).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118 and P0125 are output simultaneously, ECT sensor circuit may
be open or shorted. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC P0115, P0117 or P0118 first.

Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the
vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air±fuel ratio was lean or
rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.
Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
HINT:

This Electrical Throttle Control System (ETCS) does not use a throttle cable.

This throttle position sensor is a non±contact type.
The throttle position sensor is mounted on the throttle body. It detects the opening angle of the throttle valve.
This sensor is electronically controlled and uses Hall±effect elements, so that accurate control and reliability
can be obtained. The throttle position sensor has 2 sensor elements / signal outputs: VTA1 and VTA2. VTA1
used to detect the throttle opening angle and VTA2 is used to detect malfunctions in VTA1. Voltage applied
to VTA1 and VTA2 change between 0 V and 5 V in proportion to the opening angle of the throttle valve. There
are several checks that the ECM performs to confirm proper operation of the throttle position sensor and
VTA1.
The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from these signals input from terminals VTA1
and VTA2, and the ECM controls the throttle motor to make the throttle valve angle properly in response to
driver inputs.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses throttle position sensor to monitor the throttle valve opening angle.
(a) There is an expected specific voltage difference between VTA1 and VTA2 for each throttle opening
angle.

If the difference between VTA1 and VTA2 is incorrect the ECM interprets this as a fault and will set a
DTC.
(b) VTA1 and VTA2 each have a specific voltage operating range.

If VTA1 or VTA2 is out of the normal operating range the ECM interprets this as a fault and will set a
DTC.
(c) VTA1 and VTA2 should never be close to the same voltage levels.

If VTA1 is within the range of ± 0.02 V of VTA2 the ECM interprets this as a short circuit in the throttle
position sensor system and will set a DTC.
FAIL SAFE
If the ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) has a malfunction, the ECM cuts off current to the throttle
control motor. The throttle control valve returns to a predetermined opening angle (approximately 16°) by
the force of the return spring. The ECM then adjusts the engine output by controlling the fuel infection (inter-
mittent fuel±cut) and ignition timing in accordance with the accelerator pedal opening angle to enable the
vehicle to continue at a minimum speed.
If the accelerator pedal is depressed firmly and slowly, the vehicle can be driven slowly.
If a ºpassº condition is detected and then the ignition switch is turned OFF, the fail±safe operation will stop
and the system will return to normal condition.
