DTC P0117-00: ECT Sensor No. 1 Circuit Low Input: Notes

DTC P0117:00 PCM (SKYACTIV-G 2.5 (WITH CYLINDER DEACTIVATION) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0117:00 ECT Sensor No. 1 Circuit Low Input
DETECTION CONDITION
  • The PCM monitors the ECT sensor No. 1 signal. If the PCM detects that the ECT sensor No. 1 voltage at the PCM terminal 1AH is below 0.2 V for 5 s, the PCM determines that the ECT sensor No. 1 circuit has a malfunction.
Diagnostic support note
  • This is a continuous monitor (engine cooling system).
  • The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION
  • Fixes the water temperature for the engine control at 40°C {104°F}, and for the idle air control at 80°C {176°F}.
  • Operates the cooling fan (high speed rotation).
  • Inhibits the fuel cut control during shift change.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
  • Engine overheating (cooling system malfunction)
  • ECT sensor No. 1 connector or terminals malfunction
  • ECT sensor No. 1 malfunction
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • Short to ground in wiring harness between ECT sensor No. 1 terminal A and PCM terminal 1AH
  • ECT sensor No. 1 signal circuit and ground circuit are shorted to each other
  • PCM malfunction
