ECD SYSTEM, Diagnostic DTC:P0115/22, P0117/22, P0118/22

DTC Code DTC Name
P0115/22 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit
P0117/22 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input
P0118/22 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input

DESCRIPTION

A thermistor is built in the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and changes the resistance value according to the engine coolant temperature.

The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as the inlet air temperature sensor.

Tech Tips

If the ECM detects the DTC P0115/22, P0117/22 or P0118/22, it operates the fail-safe function in which the ECT is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration Click here and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips


  • If DTCs related to different systems that have terminal E2 as the ground terminal are output simultaneously, terminal E2 may have an open circuit.

  • Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. 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 running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

When using intelligent tester:

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR


    1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the ignition switch ON and turn the intelligent tester ON.

    3. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temp.

    4. Read the values.

      OK
      75 to 95°C (167 to 203°F) after warming up the engine.
      Result
      Temperature Displayed Proceed to
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or more B
      OK (Same as actual engine coolant temperature) C

      Tech Tips


      • If there is an open circuit, the intelligent tester indicates -40°C (-40°F).

      • If there is a short circuit, the intelligent tester indicates 140°C (284°F) or more.

      Remove the sensor.

    2. Measure the resistance of the sensor.

      Standard resistance
      Connection Specified Condition
      20°C (68°F) 2.32 to 2.59 kΩ
      80°C (176°F) 0.310 to 0.326 kΩ

      Note

      When checking the ECT sensor in water, keep the terminals dry. After the check, wipe the sensor dry.

      Tech Tips

      Alternative procedure: Connect an ohmmeter to the installed ECT sensor and read the resistance. Use an infrared thermometer to measure the engine temperature in the immediate vicinity of the sensor. Compare these values against the resistance/ temperature graph. Change the engine temperature (warm up or cool down) and repeat the test.
