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 ECT 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   - - refer to PINPOINT TEST DL .
