DESCRIPTION
The ECM uses the engine coolant temperature sensor, installed to the water outlet, and the No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor, installed to the radiator pipe assembly, to monitor the operation of the thermostat.

|
| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0128 |
P012807 | Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature) Mechanical Failure | All of the following conditions are met for 30 seconds or more (2 trip detection logic):

| Comes on | DTC stored | SAE Code: P0128 |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
P012800: Judgment by Simulated Engine Coolant TemperatureThe ECM estimates the engine coolant temperature based on the starting temperature, engine load, and engine speed. 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 of the thermostat or in the engine cooling system, illuminate the MIL and stores this DTC.
P012807: Judgment by Engine Coolant Temperature and No. 2 Engine Coolant Temperature ChangesWhen the engine coolant temperature is less than 75°C (167°F) and the water inlet housing with water pump sub-assembly is operating, if the rate of change and detected temperature of the engine coolant temperature sensor and No. 2 engine coolant temperature sensor differ by less than 0.1°C/sec. and 6.6°C respectively for a certain amount of time, the ECM will determine that the thermostat is stuck open, illuminate the MIL and store a DTC.
