DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature (Signal Stuck Low)
  1. Poor connection or damaged harness
  2. Faulty ECT sensor
  3. Faulty cooling system
Enable Conditions
  • Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is lower than 76°C (168.8°F)
  • Battery voltage is between 6V and 16V
Threshold Value
  • Measured ECT increase is less than 0.75°C (33.3°F) ~ 35°C (95°F)
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature (Signal Stuck High)
Enable Conditions
  • Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) is greater than 76°C (168.8°F)
  • Battery voltage is between 11V and 16V
  • IAT at engine start is between -9.8°C (14.36°F) and 70°C (158°F)
  • Ambient Air Temperature (AAT) is greater than -9.8°C (14.36°F)
  • Part Load driving condition: More than 250 ~ 500 seconds (Engine speed >1400 & Vehicle speed>22 mph & Mass air flow >5.5 g/sec.)
  • Low Load driving condition: More than 200 ~ 400 seconds (Fuel Cut Off or Idle with vehicle Speed<12 mph)
Threshold Value
  • ECT variation is lower than 2.25°C (36.05°F) since engine start
Case 3 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature (Plausibility check)
Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage is between 6V and 16V
  • Engine Stop time is more than 480 minute
  • ECT decrease in 15 sec after start is less than 1°C (33.8°F)
Threshold Value
  • Deviation between ECT and 2 other temperature sensors (IAT, AAT or EOT) is greater than 20°C (68°F) and Deviation among other temperature sensors (IAT, AAT, EOT) is less than 20°C (68°F)
Diagnosis Time
  • Immediate
MIL On Condition
  • 2 Drive Cycles
