ECD SYSTEM(w/ Urea SCR System), Diagnostic DTC:P0115, P0117, P0118

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

DESCRIPTION

A thermistor is built into the engine coolant temperature sensor and it changes its resistance value according to the engine coolant temperature.

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

Tech Tips

If DTC P0115, P0117 or P0118 is stored, the ECM operates the fail-safe function in which the engine coolant temperature is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

Tech Tips


  • If DTC P0115, P0117 and/or P0118 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:


    • Misfire

    • Combustion noise

    • Black smoke

    • White smoke

    • Lack of power

  • When DTC P0115, P0117 and/or P0118 is stored, check the engine coolant temperature by entering the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (See page ) and initialization Click here.

Tech Tips

Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE


  1. READ VALUE USING GTS (COOLANT TEMP)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.

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

    4. Read the value.

      OK
      70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F) with warm engine
      Result
      Result Proceed to
      -40°C (-40°F) A
      140°C (284°F) or higher B
      70 to 90°C (158 to 194°F) C

      Tech Tips


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

      • If there is a short circuit, the GTS indicates 140°C (284°F) or higher.
