Circuit Description

The PCM uses the ECT sensor to monitor the engine for an over temperature condition. This condition occurs when the coolant temperature is above 132 degrees C (270 degrees F). When an over temperature condition is present, DTC P1258 will set. The PCM will alternately disable 4 injectors. By alternately disabling 4 injectors, the PCM is able to reduce the temperature of the coolant.
