DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature (signal stuck low)
  • Poor connection or damaged harness
  • Faulty ECT sensor
  • Faulty cooling system
Enable Condition
  • Engine coolant temperature 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) to 35°C (95°F)
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature (signal stuck high)
Enable Condition
  • Engine coolant temperature 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 to 500s (engine speed is higher than 1400 RPM and vehicle speed is higher than 35.4 km/h (22 mph) and mass air flow is higher than 5.5g/s)
  • Low load driving condition: more than 200 to 400s (fuel cut off or idle with vehicle speed is higher than 19.3 km/h (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 Condition
  • Battery voltage is between 6V and 16V
  • Engine stop time is more than 480m
  • ECT decrease in 15s 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)
Diagnostic Time
  • Immediately
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
