DESCRIPTION

WIRING DIAGRAM

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE)

READ VALUE USING GTS (CHECK FOR OPEN IN WIRE HARNESS)

CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO SENSOR. IF OK, REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)

CONFIRM GOOD CONNECTION TO ECM. IF OK, REPLACE ECM.

READ VALUE USING GTS (CHECK FOR SHORT IN WIRE HARNESS)

REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR - ECM)

REPLACE ECM

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR

CONFIRM WHETHER MALFUNCTION HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY REPAIRED

DESCRIPTION

HINT:

If DTC P0115, P0117 or P0118 is stored, the ECM operates the fail-safe function in which the engine coolant temperature is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

HINT:

1. If DTC P0115, P0117 and/or P0118 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:
   
1. Misfire
   
2. Combustion noise
   
3. Black smoke
   
4. White smoke
   
5. Lack of power
   
2. When DTC P0115, P0117 and/or P0118 is stored, check the engine coolant temperature by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (LandCruiser RM0000012XK0AUX.html) and initialization (LandCruiser RM000000TIN08HX.html).

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
   

2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
   

3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.
   

4. Read the value.
   

   OK:

   70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F) with warm engine
   

   
   

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   -40°C (-40°F)	A
   140°C (284°F) or higher	B
   70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F)	C

   HINT:

   1. If there is an open circuit, the GTS indicates -40°C (-40°F).
      
   2. If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 140°C (284°F) or higher.
      

1. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature sensor connector.
   

2. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the engine coolant temperature sensor wire harness side connector.
   

3. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
   

4. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
   

5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.
   

6. Read the value.
   

   OK:

   140°C (284°F) or higher
