Inspection Procedure
HINT:
- If DTCs P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118 and P0125 are output simultaneously, ECT sensor circuit may be open. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC P0115 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, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
- Are there any other codes (beside DTC P0116) being output?
- YES: Go to relevant DTC chart (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART ).
- NO: Go to next step.
- Check thermostat (See THERMOSTAT (5VZ-FE)
).
- NG: Replace thermostat.
- OK: Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
