DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0117
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE LOW VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor uses a
thermistor to control the signal voltage to the Engine Con-
trol Module (ECM). The ECM supplies a 5 volt reference
and a ground to the sensor. When the engine coolant is
cold, the resistance is high; therefore the ECT signal volt-
age will be high. If the engine coolant is warm, sensor re-
sistance becomes less; therefore the IAT signal voltage
drops. At normal engine operating temperature, the volt-
age will be between 1.5 to 2.0 volts at the ECT signal termi-
nal.
The ECT sensor is used to control following items:
S Fuel delivery.
S Ignition.
S Evaporative (EVAP) Emission canister purge valve.
S Idle Air Control (IAC) valve.
S Electric cooling fan.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Engine run time is greater than 60 seconds.
S ECT is less tan 149°C (300°F)
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.
S A history DTC is stored.
S Both cooling fans turns on.
S The ECM will default to 20°C (68°F) for engine
coolant temperature for the first 60 seconds of en-
gine run time and then 92°C (198°F). The scan tool
will not show the defaulted value.Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
Diagnostic Aids
After engine start the ECT should rise steadily to 90°C
(194°F) then stabilize when the thermostat opens.
Use the Temperature vs. Resistance Values table to eval-
uate the possibility of a skewed sensor. Refer to”Tempera-
ture vs. Resistance” in this section.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
4. This step simulates a DTC P0118 condition. If the
ECM senses the change, then the ECM and the
ECT wiring are OK.
7. The replacement ECM must be reprogrammed.
Refer to the latest Techline procedure for ECM re-
programming.

FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S1) LOW
VOLTAGE
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a voltage of
about 0.45 volts between terminals M12 and M29 (if mea-
sured with a 10 megohm digital voltmeter, this may read
as low as 0.32 volts). The Front Heated Oxygen sensor 1
(HO2S1) varies the voltage within a range of about 1 volt
if the exhaust is rich, down through about 0.10 volts if the
exhaust is lean.
The sensor is like an open circuit and produces no voltage
when it is below 315°C(600°F). An open sensor circuit or
cold sensor causes Open Loop operation.
If the HO2S1 pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is dam-
aged, the entire HO2S1 assembly must be replaced. Do
not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly, it must have a
clean air reference provided to it. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the HO2S1 wire(s). Any attempt to
repair the wires, connector or terminals could result in the
obstruction of the air reference and degrade the HO2S1
performance. Refer to ”Front Heated Oxygen Sensor” in
this section.Conditions for Setting the DTC

FRONT HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR (HO2S1) SLOW
RESPONSE
Circuit Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) continuously monitors
the Front Heated Oxygen Sensor (HO2S1) activity for 100
seconds. During the monitor period, the ECM counts the
number of times that the HO2S1 switches from rich to lean
and from lean to rich and adds the amount of time it took
to complete all switches. With this information, an average
time for all switches can be determined. If the average time
to switch is too out of specification, a DTC P0133 will set.
If the HO2S1 pigtail wiring, connector, or terminal is dam-
aged, the entire HO2S1 assembly must be replaced. Do
not attempt to repair the wiring, connector, or terminals. In
order for the sensor to function properly, it must have a
clean air reference provided to it. This clean air reference
is obtained by way of the HO2S1 wire(s). Any attempt to
repair the wires, connector, or terminals could result in the
