Conditions for Setting the DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 GMC Sierra, 2004 GMC Cab & Chassis Sierra, 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, and 2004 Chevrolet Cab & Chassis Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the ECM detects a start-up temperature difference between the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor of more than 5°C (9°F), then the vehicle must be driven for more than 400 seconds over 24 km/h (15 mph) and the engine speed must be more than 600 RPM. If the IAT sensor temperature decreases more than 5°C (9°F) then a block heater is detected and the test is aborted. If the IAT sensor temperature does not decrease, then a block heater was not detected and DTC P0116 sets.
