DTC P0125: Insufficient Coolant Temperature For Closed Loop Fuel Control

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mercury Mountaineer, 2006 Mercury Monterey, 2006 Mercury Montego, 2006 Mercury Mariner, and 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0125 - INSUFFICIENT COOLANT TEMPERATURE FOR CLOSED LOOP FUEL CONTROL

Description:  Indicates the engine coolant temperature (ECT) or the cylinder heat temperature (CHT) sensor has not achieved the required temperature level to enter closed loop operating conditions within a specified amount of time after starting the engine.
Possible Causes: 
  • Insufficient warm up time
  • Low engine coolant level
  • Leaking or stuck open thermostat
  • Malfunctioning ECT sensor
  • Malfunctioning CHT sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Compare the thermostat specification to the actual engine coolant temperature using the engine temperature PID (ECT or CHT). The temperature reading should be similar when the engine is at a normal operating temperature.

Vehicles with only a CHT sensor - - GO to Pinpoint Test DL .
All others - - GO to Pinpoint Test DX .
