CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC No.DTC Detecting ConditionTrouble Area
If the engine coolant temperature was 35°C (95°F) or more but
less than 60°C (140°F) when the engine is started, and if
conditions (a) and (b) are met:
(a) Vehicle has accelerated and decelerated.
(b) Engine coolant temperature remains within 3°C (5.4°F) of
the initial engine coolant temperature (2 trip detection logic)
P0116If the engine coolant temperature is more than 60°C (140°F)
when the engine is started, and if conditions (a) and (b) are
met:
(a) Vehicle has accelerated and decelerated.
(b) If the engine coolant temperature sensor records a temper-
ature variation below 1°C (1.8°F) successively 6 times (6
trip detection logic)
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.

tion logic)
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT (Engine Coolant Temperature) sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the engine coolant.
The resistance of the sensor varies with the actual coolant temperature. The ECM applies a voltage to the
sensor and the varying resistance of the sensor cause the signal voltage to vary. The ECM monitors the ECT
signal voltage after engine start±up.
If, after sufficient time has passed, the sensor still reports that the engine
is not warmed up enough for closed±loop fuel control after sufficient time has passed, the ECM interprets
this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system and sets a DTC.
Example:
The engine coolant temperature was 0C (32F) at engine start. After 5 min. running time, the ECT sensor
still indicates that the engine is not warmed up enough to begin air fuel ratio feedback control of the air±fuel
ratio. The ECM interprets this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system and will set a DTC.

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 (Engine Coolant Tempera-
ture). When the estimated coolant 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 engine
cooling system and set a DTC.
