SFI SYSTEM(w/ Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P00B162

DTC Code DTC Name
P00B162 Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor Signal Compare Failure

DESCRIPTION

This engine uses a No. 2 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
P00B162 Radiator Coolant Temperature Sensor Signal Compare Failure

All of the following conditions are met (2 trip detection logic):


  1. The auxiliary battery voltage is 10.5 V or higher.

  2. 7 hours or more have elapsed since the power switch was turned off in the previous trip.

  3. Less than 20 seconds since a cold engine start was performed.

  4. The intake air temperature is -10°C (14°F) or higher.

  5. The difference between the readings of the No. 2 engine coolant temperature and intake air temperature is higher than 25°C (45°F).

  • Intake air temperature sensor (mass air flow meter sub-assembly)

  • No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM monitors the difference between the No. 2 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 No. 2 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

B006HIEE35

  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG) [A].

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  5. Turn the power switch off.

  6. With the engine stopped, leave the vehicle as is for 7.5 hours or more [B].

  7. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  8. Turn the GTS on.

  9. Put the engine in Inspection Mode (Maintenance Mode).

  10. Start the engine and wait 20 seconds or more [C].

  11. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [D].

  12. 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.

  13. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  14. Input the DTC: P00B162.

  15. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal
    ABNORMAL

    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal
    INCOMPLETE

    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
    N/A

    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If the judgment result is INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [B] through [D] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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


  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P00B162)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

    5. Read the DTCs.

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      DTC P00B162 is output A
      DTC P00B162 and P011B62 are output B
      DTC P00B162 and other DTCs are output C

      Tech Tips


      • If any DTCs other than P00B162 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

      • Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the mass air flow meter sub-assembly.
