Conditions for Setting the DTC
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- The ECM detects a start-up temperature difference between the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor of more than 5.3°C (41.5°F), the vehicle must be driven for more than 360 seconds over 24 km/h (15 mph). If the IAT sensor temperature decreases more than 5.3°C (41.5°F), a block heater is detected and the test is aborted. If the IAT sensor temperature does not decrease, a block heater was not detected and DTC P0116 sets.
- The ECM detects a start-up temperature difference between the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor of more than 100°C (212°F).
