DTC P0126 - Sufficient Coolant Temperature For Stable Operation -

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE

Step Check Yes No
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.  Is any other DTC displayed? Inspect the relevant DTC using "List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)". < Ref. to LIST OF DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) . > Go to step 2. 
2 CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR. 
Measure the resistance between terminals of engine coolant temperature sensor when the engine is cold and when the engine is warmed up.
terminal No. 1 - No. 2: 
Does the resistance value change between the condition when the engine is cooled and when it is warmed up? Go to step 3.  Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. < Ref. to ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR . >
3 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Disconnect connector from engine coolant temperature sensor.
  3. Measure voltage between engine coolant temperature sensor connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E8) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

Is the measured value more than 10 V? Repair battery short circuit in harness between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor connector. Go to step 4. 
4 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to ON.
  2. Measure voltage between engine coolant temperature sensor connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E8) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-): 

Is the measured value more than 10 V? Repair battery short circuit in harness between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor connector. Go to step 5. 
5 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
Measure voltage between engine coolant temperature sensor connector and engine ground.
Connector & terminal 
(E8) No. 1 (+) - Engine ground (-): 
Is the measured value more than 4 V? Go to step 6.  Repair harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor connector
  • Poor contact in engine coolant temperature sensor connector
  • Poor contact in ECM connector
  • Poor contact in coupling connector
  • Poor contact in joint connector
6 CHECK HARNESS BETWEEN ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR AND ECM CONNECTOR. 
  1. Turn ignition switch to OFF.
  2. Measure resistance of harness between engine coolant temperature sensor connector and engine ground.

    Connector & terminal 

    (E8) No. 2 - Engine ground: 

Is the measured value less than 5 Ω? Contact your SOA Service Center. Repair harness and connector.
NOTE: In this case, repair the following:
  • Open circuit in harness between ECM and engine coolant temperature sensor connector
  • Poor contact in engine coolant temperature sensor connector
  • Poor contact in ECM connector
  • Poor contact in coupling connector
  • Poor contact in joint connector
