MONITOR DESCRIPTION The
resistance of the ECT sensor varies in proportion to the actual ECT.
The ECM supplies a constant voltage to the sensor and monitors the
signal output voltage of the sensor. The signal output voltage varies
according to the changing resistance of the sensor. After the engine is
started, the ECT is monitored through this signal. If the ECT sensor
indicates that the engine is not yet warm enough for closed-loop fuel
control despite a specified period of time having elapsed since the
engine was started, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the
sensor or cooling system and stores the DTC. Example: The
ECT is 0°C (32°F) at engine start. After about 1 minute of running
time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the engine is not warm enough
to begin closed-loop fuel (air-fuel ratio feedback) control. The ECM
interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and
stores the DTC. MONITOR STRATEGY |

| CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- Leave the vehicle outside overnight.
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Enter the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Coolant Temp.
- Check that the engine coolant temperature is 10°C (50°F) or less.
- Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC operation).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Start the engine.
- Wait 21 minutes or more.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
- Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P0125.
- Check the DTC judgment result.

NORMAL |
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal

|
ABNORMAL |
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
|
|
INCOMPLETE |
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
|
|
N/A |
- Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
|
- If the test result is INCOMPLETE or N/A and no pending DTC is output,
perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs (See page
).
HINT:
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.
WIRING DIAGRAM Refer to DTC P0115 (See page
). CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
- If DTC P0115, P0116, P0117 or P0118 is stored simultaneously with DTC
P0125, the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor may have an open or
short circuit. Troubleshoot those DTCs first.
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records
the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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 DTC P0125) |
(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3. (b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Turn the Techstream on. (d) Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
(e) Read DTCs. Result |

INSPECT WATER INLET WITH THERMOSTAT SUB-ASSEMBLY |
(a) Remove the water inlet with thermostat sub-assembly (See page
). (b) Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat.
Standard opening temperature: 80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F) HINT:
In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.

Check for defects in the cooling system that might cause the system to
be too cold, such as abnormal radiator fan operation or any
modifications. HINT: Perform "Inspection After Repair" after replacing the engine coolant temperature sensor (See page
