Step Check Yes No
1CHECK VEHICLEHas the vehicle driven or idled
with the engine partially sub-
merged under water?
In this case, it is
not necessary to
inspect DTC

Go to step 2.
2CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.Is any other DTC displayed? Check the appro-
priate DTC using
the “List of Diag-
nostic Trouble
Code (DTC)”.

Go to step 3.
3CHECK ENGINE COOLANT.Are the coolant level and mix-
ture ratio of engine coolant to
anti-freeze solution correct?
Go to step 4.Replace engine

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AI: DTC P0126 INSUFFICIENT COOLANT TEMPERATURE FOR STABLE OPER-
ATION
1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect the malfunction of engine coolant temperature sensor characteristics.
The engine coolant temperature and fuel temperature is stored in memory from the last time that the engine
was stopped. If the engine coolant temperature does not decrease when it is expected to after starting the
engine, it is judged to be NG.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
5. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
Abnormality Judgment
Judge as NG when the continuous time until completing the malfunction criteria below becomes 120 second
or more.
Time Needed for Diagnosis: 120 seconds
Malfunction Indicator Light Illumination: Illuminates when malfunctions occur in 2 continuous driving cy-
cles.

Judge as OK when the criteria below are met.
Stuck Diagnosis
As the engine warms up (cumulative amount of intake air after starting is large), if the fuel temperature which
should rise does not, determine as being stuck and NG.

B: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the
proper orientation.
4) Remove it again and check the oil reading.
If the engine oil level is below the “L” line, add oil to
bring the level up to the “F” line. To prevent overfill-
ing the engine oil, do not add oil above the “F” line
when the engine is cold.
5) Check whether it is notably dirty, or there is cool-
ant or gasoline mixed in. Replace if it is notably
dirty. If there is coolant or gasoline mixed in, check
the engine.
6) After pouring in engine oil, run the engine for
several minutes, then stop it. Wait for several min-
utes until the oil has returned to the oil pan.
