DTC P0116 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range / Performance Problem


DESCRIPTION

Refer to DTC P0115 (HILUX_TGN26 RM000000PF50PBX_01.html).

DTC Code
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0116
The engine coolant temperature is between 35°C and 60°C (95°F and 140°F) when the engine is started, and conditions (a) and (b) are met (2 trip detection logic):
  1. (a) The vehicle is driven at varying speeds (accelerated and decelerated).
  2. (b) The engine coolant temperature remains within 3°C (5.4°F) of the initial engine coolant temperature.
  1. Water inlet sub-assembly with thermostat
  2. Engine coolant temperature sensor

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature sensor has a built-in thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the engine coolant temperature is low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance drops. These variations in the resistance are reflected in the output voltage from the engine coolant temperature sensor.
The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. If the sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this deviation as a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor and stores the DTC.
Example:
Upon starting the engine, the engine coolant temperature is between 35°C and 60°C (95°F and 140°F). If after driving for 250 seconds, the engine coolant temperature remains within 3°C (5.4°F) of the starting temperature, the DTC is stored (2 trip detection logic).

  P0116  Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range / Performance Problem

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
  3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.
  4. Check that the engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or less.
  5. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
  6. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  7. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on [A].
  8. Start the engine and idle it for 5 minutes or more [B].
    HINT:
    If the engine coolant temperature does not change by 5°C (9°F) or higher, the engine coolant temperature sensor is malfunctioning. It is not necessary to continue this procedure.
  9. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC [C].
  10. Read the pending DTCs.
    HINT:
    1. If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
    2. If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
  12. Input the DTC: P0116.
  13. Check the DTC judgment result.

    Tester Display
    Description
    NORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System normal
    ABNORMAL
    1. DTC judgment completed
    2. System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE
    1. DTC judgment not completed
    2. Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A
    1. Unable to perform DTC judgment
    2. Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
    HINT:
    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    3. If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [D] and [E].
  14. Drive the vehicle at 40 km/h (25 mph) or more for a total of 5 minutes or more [D].
    CAUTION:
    When performing the confirmation driving pattern, obey all speed limits and traffic laws.
    HINT:
    In the event of the driving pattern being interrupted (possibly due to factors such as traffic conditions), the driving pattern can be resumed.
  15. Check the DTC judgment result again [E].
    HINT:
    1. If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
    2. If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    3. If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [D] and [E] again.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. If any of DTCs P0115, P0117 or P0118 are stored simultaneously with DTC P0116, the engine coolant temperature sensor may have an open or a short circuit. Troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  2. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0116)
  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTC.

2.INSPECT WATER INLET SUB-ASSEMBLY WITH THERMOSTAT
  1. Remove the water inlet sub-assembly with thermostat (HILUX_TGN26 RM00000146400BX.html).

  1. Measure the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.

    Standard value:
    80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F)
    HINT:
    In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
