DTC P1021: CYLINDER HEAD TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE
| Description: | Indicates the cylinder head temperature rationality test has failed. This DTC indicates the cylinder head temperature value is higher than the calibrated value and could prevent one or more on board diagnostic (OBD) monitors from completing. The PCM runs this logic after an engine off and a calibrated soak period (typically 6 hours). This soak period allows the intake air temperature and the cylinder head temperature to stabilize and not differ by greater than a calibrated value. This DTC sets when all of the following conditions are met: The cylinder head temperature at engine start exceeds the intake air temperature at engine start by greater than a calibrated value, typically 17°C (30°F). The cylinder head temperature exceeds a calibrated value, typically 107°C (225°F). The fuel system, heated oxygen and misfire monitors have not completed. The calibrated time to set this DTC has expired. |
