DTC P0116 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range/Performance: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTION CONDITION REFERENCE CHART

Item Detecting Condition & Fail Safe Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Coolant temp.not reached warm up state
  • Contact resistance in connectors
  • Faulty ECT sensor
Enable Conditions case 1
  • No ECTS failure
  • 6 < Battery voltage < 16V
case 2
  • No relevant failure
  • TOIL at engine stop of previous DC > 70°C(158°F)
  • ECT at engine stop of previous DC > 70°C(158°F)
  • Engine oil temperature at Start < 35°C(95°F)
  • Intake Air Temperature at Start < 35°C(95°F)
Threshold Value case 1
  • TCOmodel increase > Threshold But TCOmeas increase

    < Threshold(Threshold depends on Coolant start temp.)

case 2
  • Start coolant temperature > 53°C(127°F) with oil temperature < 35°C(95°F)
Diagnostic Time case 1
  • 10~30 minutes
case 2
  • Immediate
Fail Safe
  • Caculated engine coolant temperature is used for engine control
  • Cooling / Condenser fan active with MAX speed
  • EVAP. emission control function is controlled inminimum operation mode
Mil On Condition
  • 2 Driving Cycles
