comparing to the IAT reading. The outside temperature
gauge has a significant delay built in to prevent
temperature swings from being displayed on its display.

DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115 (See page ES-133).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The resistance of the ECT sensor varies in proportion to the actual ECT. The ECM supplies a constant
voltage to the sensor and monitors the signal output voltage of the sensor. The signal voltage output
varies according to the changing resistance of the sensor. After the engine is started, the ECT is
monitored through this signal. If the ECT sensor indicates that the engine is not yet warm enough for
closed-loop fuel control, despite a specified period of time having elapsed since the engine was started,
the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.
Example:
The ECT is 0
C (32F) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the
engine is not warm enough to begin closed-loop fuel (air-fuel ratio feedback) control. The ECM interprets
this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
• If any of DTCs P0115, P0116, P0117 or P0118 are set simultaneously with DTC P0125, the Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor may have an open or a short circuit. Troubleshoot those DTCs first.
• Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition
information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame
data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine
was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the
time of a malfunction.
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS /
ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read the DTCs.

those DTCs first.

HINT:
This DTC relates to the thermostat.
DESCRIPTION
This DTC is set when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) does not reach 75C (167F) despite
sufficient engine warm-up time.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM estimates the ECT based on the starting temperature, engine loads, and engine speeds. The
ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated ECT reaches
75
C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75C (167F), the ECM
interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and sets the DTC.

High or Low Impedance of Heated Oxygen (HO2) Sensor (DTCs P0136 and P0156 or P0137 and
P0157)
During normal air-fuel ratio feedback control, there are small variations in the exhaust gas oxygen
concentration. In order to continuously monitor the slight variation of the HO2 sensor signal while the
engine is running, the impedance* of the sensor is measured by the ECM. The ECM determines that there
is a malfunction in the sensor when the measured impedance deviates from the standard range.
*: The effective resistance in an alternating current electrical circuit.
HINT:
• The impedance cannot be measured using an ohmmeter.
• DTCs P0136 and P0156 indicate the deterioration of the HO2 sensor. The ECM sets the DTCs by
calculating the impedance of the sensor when the typical enabling conditions are satisfied (1 driving
cycle).
• DTCs P0137 and P0157 indicate an open or short circuit in the HO2 sensor (1 driving cycle). The ECM
sets the DTCs when the impedance of the sensor exceeds the threshold 15 k
.
