With a completely cooled engine (one that has been off for at least 6 hours): When the change in coolant temperature after 42 minutes or more of running time or drive 5 miles (7 km) or more of driving time is 50 °F (10 °C) or less, a malfunction is detected.

Malfunction determination 2:

With a partially cooled engine (one that has been off for less than 6 hours):

When the difference between the coolant temperature after 42 minutes or more of running time or drive 5 miles (7 km) or more of driving time the coolant temperature after the engine has been off for 150 minutes and then run for 10 seconds is 50 °F (10 °C) or less, a malfunction is detected.
