Inspection Procedure
HINT:
- If DTCs "P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118 and P0125" are output simultaneously, engine coolant temperature sensor circuit may be open or short. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC "P0115, P0117 or P0118" first.
- Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc, at the time of the malfunction.
