DTC P0C43 (1077):  ES Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Range/Performance

General Description 

GHH415086Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.

The electric powertrain system has a system to cool the battery pack, battery charger and DC-DC converter with coolant. The coolant temperature is monitored by the battery condition monitor module A with two sensors installed on the radiator. Battery condition monitor module A detects abnormal coolant temperature by comparing the value of the two temperature sensors. When the coolant temperature is abnormal for a set time or more, the battery condition monitor module A detects a malfunction and stores a DTC.

Possible Cause 

NOTE: The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.
  • Coolant leak
  • Coolant air inclusion
  • ES coolant temperature sensor 1 failure
  • ES coolant temperature sensor 2 failure

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the battery condition monitor module A memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the POWER SYSTEM indicator comes on and a Confirmed DTC and the freeze data are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The POWER SYSTEM indicator is cleared if the malfunction does not return in the next trip in which the diagnostic runs. The POWER SYSTEM indicator, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, and the freeze data can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command.
