Diagnosis & Repair

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Toyota Tundra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, read FREEZE FRAME data. Freeze frame data records engine conditions when malfunction is detected.
  1. Remove and inspect cooling system thermostat for damage and proper operation. Thermostat is located behind thermostat housing on driver's side front of engine, just behind cooling fan. If thermostat is okay, go to next step. If thermostat is defective, replace thermostat.
  2. Using Toyota hand-held tester or scan tool, check for any other DTCs. If other DTCs exist, diagnose and repair those DTCs first and retest. If only DTC P0128 exists, replace ECM. ECM is located behind glove box and heater duct. See Figure.
