DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • Coolant temperature reasonable data monitoring (low temperature fixing)
  1. ECTS
Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 6V and lower than 16V
  • ECT is lower than 76°C (168.8°F) after engine "ON"
Threshold Value
  • ECT target value is more than the reference value during engine "ON" but actual ECT is below the reference value continually
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Coolant temperature reasonable data monitoring (high temperature fixing)
Enable Conditions
  • ECT is higher than 76°C (168.8°F) after engine "ON"
  • Battery voltage higher than 11V and lower than 16V
  • Intake air temperature is higher than -9.8°C (14.36°F) and lower than 70°C (158°F) during engine "ON"
  • Ambient air temperature is higher than -9.8°C (14.36°F)
  • Part load of engine driving (engine speed higher than 1400RPM, vehicle speed higher than 35.4km/h (22.0mph), air flow more than 5.5g/sec) maintain for 250s to 500s
  • Low load of engine driving (idle, vehicle speed lower than 19.3km/h (12.0mph), engine "OFF") maintain for 200s to 400s
Threshold Value
  • Variation of ECT is lower than 2.25°C (36.05°F) after engine "ON"
Case 3 DTC Strategy
  • Performance monitoring
Enable Conditions
  • Battery voltage higher than 11V and lower than 16V
  • Over 8hours after engine "OFF"
  • ECT is is lowered to over 1°C (33.8°F) within 15s after engine "ON"
Threshold Value
  • Temperature sensors that difference between ECTS and the other temperature sensors (coolant temperature, oil temperature) is over than 20°C (68°F) are at least two
  • Difference of the other temperature sensors is less than 20°C (68°F)
Diagnostic Time
  • Immediately
MIL ON Condition
  • 2 driving cycles
