DTC detecting condition | Trouble area |
---|---|
ECT sensor values is less than 20 °C (68 °F) while engine is running more than specified engine load (more than 1000 rpm) for 2 to 1112 min (depending on ECT at engine start) continuously from engine start.

---|---|---|---|
1 |
Was “Engine and Emission Control System Check” performed?
|
Go to Step 2.
|
|
2 |
DTC check
1)
Connect scan tool with ignition switch turned OFF.
2)
Turn ON ignition switch and check DTC displayed on scan tool.
Is DTC P0118 indicated?
|
Go to Step 3.
|
|
3 |
Engine coolant temp. check
1)
With ignition switch turned OFF, install scan tool to DLC.
2)
Turn ON ignition switch and check engine coolant temp. displayed on scan tool.
3)
Warm up engine to normal operating temp. and check engine coolant temp. displayed on scan tool.
Does engine coolant temp. vary higher than 1 °C (33.8 °F) and rise higher than 70 °C (158 °F)?
|
Intermittent trouble. Check for intermittent referring to
Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection
.
|
Go to Step 4.
|
4 |
Thermostat check
Is there a symptom due to thermostat remaining open (it takes a long time before vehicle heater becomes effective or before engine is warmed to normal operating temp., etc.)?
|
Check thermostat referring to
Thermostat Inspection:M13A
.
|
Go to Step 5.
|
5 |
Wire harness check
1)
Disconnect ECT sensor connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
3)
If OK, then with ignition switch ON.
Is voltage applied to “GRN/BLK” wire terminal about 4 – 6 V?
|
Go to Step 9.
|
Go to Step 6.
|
6 |
ECM voltage check
1)
Turn OFF ignition switch.
2)
Check for proper connection of ECM connector at “E119-16” terminal.
3)
If OK, then turn ON ignition switch, measure voltage between “E119-16” terminal of ECM connector and body ground.
Is voltage about 4 – 6 V?
|
Open wire in “GRN/BLK” circuit. If wire and connection are OK, go to Step 7.
|
Go to Step 7.
|
7 |
Wire circuit check
1)
Disconnect connectors from ECM with ignition switch turned OFF.
2)
Turn ignition switch to ON position.
3)
Measure voltage between “GRN/BLK” wire terminal of ECT sensor connector and body ground.
Is voltage about 0 V?
|
Go to Step 8.
|
“GRN/BLK” wire shorted to other circuits.
If wire are OK, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
|
8 |
Wire circuit check
1)
Measure resistance between “E119-16” terminal of ECM connector and “GRN/BLK” wire terminal of ECT sensor connector with ignition switch turned OFF.
Is resistance below 5 Ω?
|
Go to Step 9.
|
High resistance wire in “GRN/BLK” circuit.
|
9 |
Ground circuit check
1)
Connect connectors to ECM.
2)
Check for proper connection of ECT sensor connector at “BLK/BLU” wire terminal.
3)
Measure resistance between “BLK/BLU” wire terminal of ECT sensor connector and body ground.
Is resistance below 5 Ω?
|
Go to Step 11.
|
Go to Step 10.
|
10 |
Ground circuit check
1)
Measure resistance between “E119-28” terminal of ECM connector and body ground.
Is resistance below 5 Ω?
|
High resistance wire in “BLK/BLU” circuit. Poor “E119-28” connection.
|
Faulty ECM ground circuit. If circuit are OK, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
|
11 |
ECT sensor check
1)
Check ECT sensor according to
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Inspection:M13A
.
Is it in good condition?
|
Substitute a known-good ECM and recheck.
|
Replace ECT sensor.
