DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 Main Action
  • Measure ECT Signal - Stuck low
  1. Poor connection or damaged harness
  2. Faulty ECT sensor
  3. Faulty cooling system
Prerequisite condition
  • ECT at the time of engine start is lower than 76°C (169° F).
  • Battery voltage is between 6V and 16V.
Threshold Value
  • ECT goes up to 0.75°C (33.4°F) to 35°C (95°F) comparing with it at the time of engine start.
Case 2 Main Action
  • Measure ECT Signal - Stuck high
Prerequisite condition
  • ECT during engine start is higher than or equal to 76°C (169°F).
  • Battery voltage is between 11V and 16V.
  • IAT (Intake Air Temperature) at the time of engine start is between -10°C (14°F) and 70°C (158°F).
  • Driving condition at partial load lasts longer than 250 to 500 seconds.
  • Driving condition at low load lasts longer than 200 to 400 seconds.
  • Ambient air temperature is higher than -10°C (14°F).
Threshold Value
  • ECT variation since engine start is lower than 2.25°C (36.05°F).
Case3 Main Action
  • Plausibility check
Prerequisite condition
  • ECT in 15 seconds after starting goes down below 1.4°C (34.5°F).
  • Engine stop time is longer than 480 minutes.
  • Battery voltage is between 6V and 16V.
Threshold Value
  • Deviation between ECT and 2 other temperature sensors (IAT, AAT or EOT) is higher than 20°C (68°F) and Deviation among other temperature sensors (IAT, AAT, EOT) is lower than or equal to 20°C (68°F).
Diagnostic Time
  • Immediately
MIL On Condition
  • 3rd Driving Cycle
