DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115 (See page ES-133).
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECT sensor is used to monitor the ECT. The ECT sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance
that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the ECT becomes low, the
resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These
variations in the resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the ECT sensor.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the ECT. If the sensor voltage
output deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the
ECT sensor and sets the DTC.
Examples:
• Upon starting the engine, the ECT is between 35
C and 60C (95F and 140F). If the ECT remains
within 3
C (5.4F) of the stating temperature after driving for 250 seconds, the DTC is set (2 trip
detection logic).
• Upon starting the engine, the ECT is over 60
C (140F). If the ECT remains within 1C (1.8F) of the
starting temperature after driving for 250 seconds, the DTC is set (6 trip detection logic).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
• If any of DTC P0115, P0117, P0118 or P0125 are set simultaneously with DTC P0116, the 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) Enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED II

DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the difference between the readings of the coolant temperature sensor and intake air
temperature sensor. If the difference is greater than 20
C (68F), the ECM will judge this as a malfunction
and will set this DTC.
HINT:
• Waiting is required to prevent the temperature of the engine from affecting the readings. If the engine
has been operated recently, it will not be possible to accurately compare the readings.
• For diagnosis, in order to duplicate the detection conditions of the DTC, it is necessary to park the
vehicle for 7 hours. Parking the vehicle for 7 hours ensures that the actual temperature of the ECT and
IAT are very similar. When the vehicle has been parked for less than 7 hours, differences in the
readings may exist, this does not necessarily indicate a fault.
