DTC Detection Logic

Engine coolant temperature has not risen enough to open the thermostat even though the engine has run long enough.

This is due to a leak in the seal or the thermostat being stuck open.

The engine coolant temperature does not reach to specified temperature even though the engine has run long enough.
