DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P0116

Engine coolant temperatures as listed below are nearly the same (2 trip detection logic)⁽¹⁾:

Engine coolant temperature when engine is started is lower than 60°C (140°F)
Engine coolant temperature when engine is warmed up

Thermostat
Engine coolant temperature sensor

Engine coolant temperatures as listed below are nearly same when engine is started at higher than 60°C (140°F) of engine coolant temperature (2 trip detection logic)⁽¹⁾:

Engine coolant temperature when engine is stopped after driving
Engine coolant temperature when engine is started is lower than 60°C (140°F)

When either of following conditions is met (2 trip detection logic):

When cold engine started and engine warmed up, engine coolant temperature sensor value does not change
After engine is warmed up, engine coolant temperature sensor value does not change when engine stopped and then next cold engine start is performed
