DESCRIPTION
The engine has two temperature sensors, an engine coolant temperature sensor and an intake air temperature sensor (for mass air flow meter sub-assembly), to detect temperature while the engine is operating. A thermistor, whose resistance value varies according to the temperature, is built into each sensor. When the temperature becomes low, the resistance of the thermistor increases. When the temperature becomes high, the resistance drops. These variations in resistance are transmitted to the ECM as voltage changes. Based on these temperature signals output from the sensors, the ECM determines the fuel injection duration and the ignition timing to control the engine.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM monitors the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature (for mass air flow meter sub-assembly) when the engine is started cold to accurately detect the engine temperature conditions. The monitor runs when the engine is started after 7 hours or more have elapsed since the engine was stopped (engine switch turned off) on the previous trip. If the difference between the engine coolant temperature and the intake air temperature on a cold start exceeds 24.375°C (43.9°F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit and intake air temperature sensor circuit, and stores this DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
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.
PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P011B62) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(c) Turn the Techstream on.
(d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Powertrain > Engine > Trouble Codes Result | Proceed to |
---|---|
DTC P011B62 is output | A |
DTC P011B62 and other DTCs are output | B |
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P011B62 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
B | GO TO DTC CHART |
|
2. | READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE) |
(a) Leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more.
HINT:
It is necessary to leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more to create conditions similar to the DTC detection conditions.
(b) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
(c) Turn the engine switch on (IG).
(d) Turn the Techstream on.
(e) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / Intake Air Temperature.
Powertrain > Engine > Data List Tester Display |

(f) Read the value displayed on the Techstream.
Standard:
Difference between the intake air temperature and the actual outside air temperature is within 10°C (18°F).
