MONITOR DESCRIPTION

P012800: Judgment by Simulated Engine Coolant Temperature

The ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature based on the starting temperature, engine loads, and engine speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual engine coolant temperature. When the estimated engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F), the ECM checks the actual engine coolant temperature. If the actual engine coolant temperature is less than 75°C (167°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and stores the DTC.

P012807: Judgment by Engine Coolant Temperature Change at High Vehicle Speed

When the vehicle is being driven between 65 and 128 km/h (40.625 and 80 mph) and the monitoring conditions are met, the change in engine coolant temperature is monitored. The amount of change is judged to be normal or abnormal every 15 seconds, in order to monitor the thermostat operation. If the engine coolant temperature changes more than the threshold, the thermostat is judged as normal, but if it changes less than the threshold, the thermostat is judged to be malfunctioning. If an abnormal judgment is made 3 times, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.

    Description

    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed
    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed

    • If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
    • [D] to [G]: Normal judgment procedure.

      The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.

    • When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

HINT:

  • When the DTC is output, check the engine coolant temperature using the Techstream. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Coolant Temperature. If the Coolant Temperature value is lower than the actual engine coolant temperature, the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit may be malfunctioning. In this case, check the wire harnesses and connectors (and those connections) between the ECM and the engine coolant temperature sensor first.
  • Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
