| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P011B62 | Engine Coolant Temperature / Intake Air Temperature Signal Compare Failure |
DESCRIPTION
This engine uses an engine coolant temperature sensor and an intake air temperature sensor to detect temperatures related to engine operation. A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the temperature, is built into each sensor. When the temperature becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance decreases. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P011B62 | Engine Coolant Temperature / Intake Air Temperature Signal Compare Failure | All of the following conditions are met (2 trip detection logic):
|
|
Comes on | DTC stored | SAE: P011B |
Tech Tips
Waiting is required to prevent the temperature of the engine from affecting the readings. If the engine has been operated recently, it is not possible to accurately compare the readings.
For diagnosis, in order to duplicate the detection conditions of the DTC, it is necessary to park the vehicle for 7 hours. Parking the vehicle for 7 hours ensures that the actual engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature are very similar. When the vehicle has been parked for less than 7 hours, differences in the readings may exist, but this does not necessarily indicate a fault.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature when the engine is started cold to accurately detect the engine temperature conditions. The monitor runs when the engine is started after 7 hours or more have elapsed since the power switch was turned off in the previous trip. If the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature on a cold start exceeds 25°C (45°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit or intake air temperature sensor circuit, illuminates the MIL and stores this DTC.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Frequency of Operation | Once per driving cycle |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG) [A].
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the power switch off.
With the engine stopped, leave the vehicle as is for 7.5 hours or more [B].
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in Inspection Mode (2WD for measuring Exhaust Gas).
Start the engine and wait 100 seconds or more [C].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P011B62.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
Tech Tips
If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE, perform steps [B] through [D] again.
CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Vehicle Control History may be stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU if the engine is malfunctioning. Certain vehicle condition information is recorded when Vehicle Control History is stored. Reading the vehicle conditions recorded in both the freeze frame data and Vehicle Control History can be useful for troubleshooting.
(Select Powertrain in Health Check and then check the time stamp data.)
If any "Engine Malfunction" Vehicle Control History item has been stored in the hybrid vehicle control ECU, make sure to clear it. However, as all Vehicle Control History items are cleared simultaneously, if any Vehicle Control History items other than "Engine Malfunction" are stored, make sure to perform any troubleshooting for them before clearing Vehicle Control History.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P011B62)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.

Tech Tips
If any DTCs other than P011B62 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

READ VALUE USING GTS (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE)
Leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more.
Tech Tips
It is necessary to leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more to create conditions similar to the DTC detection conditions.
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Intake Air Temperature.
| Tester Display |
|---|
| Intake Air Temperature |
According to the display on the GTS, read the Data List.
| Standard |
|---|
| Difference between the intake air temperature and the actual outside air temperature is 10°C (18°F) or less. |
Tech Tips
The temperature displayed on the outside temperature gauge of the vehicle (if equipped) is not suitable for comparing to the intake air temperature reading. The outside temperature gauge has a significant delay built into prevent swings in the temperature display. Use an accurate thermometer to determine the outside air temperature.
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.

READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMPERATURE)
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temperature.
| Tester Display |
