    DTC P0116 Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Range/Performance Problem

    Uploaded by

    Clodoaldo Biassio
    This document provides information about diagnostic trouble code P0116, which indicates a problem with the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor circuit. It describes the normal operation of the ECT sensor and the monitor strategy that detects issues. The monitor continuously checks that the ECT changes appropriately over 250 seconds of driving under two detection logics depending on the starting temperature. If the temperature remains fixed, the trouble code will be set after either 2 or 6 driving cycles.

    DTC P0116 ENGINE COOLANT TEMP. CIRCUIT


    RANGE/PERFORMANCE PROBLEM

    CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
    Refer to DTC P0115 on page 05–80.
    DTC No. DTC Detection Condition Trouble Area
    If engine coolant temperature (ECT) was between 35C (95F)
    and 60C (140F) when starting the engine, and also condi-
    tions (a) and (b) are met:
    (a) Vehicle has run with acceleration and deceleration
    (b) ETC still remains within 3C (5.4F) of the starting tempera-
    ture (2 trip detection logic)
    P0116  Engine coolant temperature sensor
    If engine coolant temperature (ECT) was more than 60C
    when starting the engine, and also conditions (a) and (b) are
    met:
    (a) Vehicle has run with acceleration and deceleration
    (b) ECT still remains within 1C (1.8F) of the starting tempera-
    ture (6 trip detection logic)

    MONITOR DESCRIPTION
    The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is used to monitor the engine coolant temperature. The ECT
    sensor has a thermistor that varies its resistance depending on the temperature of the engine coolant. When
    the coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the
    resistance drops. The variations in resistance are reflected in the voltage output from the sensor. The ECM
    monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. When the sen-
    sor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the ECT
    sensor and sets a DTC.
    Examples:
    1) Upon starting the engine, the coolant temperature (ECT) was between 35C (95F) and 60C (140F).
    If after driving for 250 seconds, the ECT still remains within 3C (5.4F) of the staring temperature, a DTC
    will be set. (2 trip detection logic)
    2) Upon starting the engine, the coolant temperature (ECT) was over 60C (140F). If after driving for 250
    seconds, the ECT still remains within 1C (1.8F) of the starting temperature, a DTC will be set. (6 trip detec-
    tion logic)
