DESCRIPTION
A thermistor is built into the engine coolant temperature sensor and it changes its resistance value according to the engine coolant temperature.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as that of the intake air temperature sensor.
- 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).
DTC Detection Drive Pattern | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
- NOTICE:
- 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.READ VALUE USING GTS (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE) |
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.
Read the value.
- OK:
- 70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F) with warm engine
