  • During engine warming up after cold engine starts, change in Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor output bellow threshold
  • In duration between warmed engine stopped and next cold engine starts, change in ECT sensor output bellow threshold
  • Thermostat
  • ECT sensor
P0116 For Mexico Models:
Case 1:
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) between 35°C and 60°C (95°F and 140°F) when engine started, and conditions (a) and (b) met (2 trip detection logic)
  1. Vehicle driven at varying speeds (accelerated and decelerated)
  2. ECT remains within 3°C (5.4°F) of initial ECT

Case 2:
ECT more than 60°C (140°F) when engine started, and conditions (a) and (b) met (6 trip detection logic)
  1. Vehicle driven at varying speeds (accelerated and decelerated)
  2. ECT measurements remain within 1°C (1.8°F) of initial ECT on 6 successive occasions
