DTC Confirmation Procedure

NOTE:

If DTCs other than aimed DTC are previously detected in DTC confirmation procedure, be sure to troubleshoot DTC previously detected.

DTC P0116:

NOTE:

Check that the following condition is satisfied when using this procedure.

- ECT < 71 °C (159.8 °F)


1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Run engine at idle speed for 15 min.

DTC P0125:

NOTE:

Check that the following condition is satisfied when using this procedure.

- ECT at engine started < 10 °C (50 °F)


3) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
4) Run engine at idle speed for 5 min.

DTC P0128:

WARNING:

If you do not select a suitable route and take proper precautions when performing a road test, an accident can occur.

- Select a level road with no traffic to minimize the risk of accident.
- Perform the test extremely carefully.
- Perform the road test using 2 persons, a driver and an assistant.

NOTE:

Check that the following conditions are satisfied when using this procedure.

- IAT at engine started > -10 °C (14 ° F)

- -10 °C (14 °F) < ECT at engine started < 56 °C (132.8 °F)


5) Start engine.
6) Drive vehicle at 60 - 100 km/h (37 - 62 mile/h) for 10 min.

DTC Troubleshooting



1.
Was "Engine and Emission Control System Check" performed?
YES
Go to Step 2.
NO
Go to Engine and Emission Control System Check.

2. DTC check

Check DTC.

Is there DTC(s) other than P0116, P0125 and P0128?
YES
Go to applicable DTC(s).
NO
Go to Step 3.

3. ECT sensor signal circuit and ground circuit check

Turn OFF ignition switch and disconnect connectors from ECT sensor and ECM.
Check for proper terminal connection to ECT sensor and ECM connectors.
If connections are OK, check that ECT sensor signal circuit (A1) and ground circuit (A2) are as follows.
- Wiring harness resistance of each ECT sensor signal circuit and ground circuit is less than 3 ohms.
- Insulation resistance of ECT sensor signal circuit is infinity between ECT sensor connector and vehicle body ground.
- Insulation resistance of wire harness is infinity between ECT sensor signal circuit terminal and each terminal at ECT sensor connector.
- Circuit voltage of each ECT sensor signal circuit and ground circuit is 0 - 1 V with ignition switch in ON position.

Are they in good condition?
YES
Go to Step 4.
NO
Repair or replace defective wire harness.

4. ECT sensor check

Check ECT sensor. Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Inspection

Is it in good condition?
YES
Go to Step 5.
NO
Replace ECT sensor.

5. Thermostat check

Check thermostat. Thermostat Inspection

Is it in good condition?
YES
Substitute a know-good ECM and recheck.
NO
Replace thermostat.
