DTC P0115: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Malfunction (TO 12/2010); DTC P0117: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input (TO 12/2010); DTC P0118: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input (TO 12/2010): Procedure

1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Coolant Temp.
5. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

   Standard

   Between 80°C and 97°C (176°F and 207°F) with warm engine.

   Result

   Result	Proceed to
   -40°C (-40°F)	A
   140°C (284°F)	B
   Between 80°C and 97°C (176°F and 207°F)	C

   HINT: 

   • If there is an open circuit, Techstream indicates -40°C (-40°F).
   • If there is a short circuit, Techstream indicates 140°C (284°F).

2. Disconnect the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor connector.
3. Connect terminals 1 and 2 of the ECT sensor connector on the wire harness side.
4. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
5. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
6. Turn the Techstream on.
7. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Data List / All Data / Coolant Temp.
8. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

   Standard

   140°C (284°F).

9. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

OK → REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 

NG: Go to next step 

1. Disconnect the ECT sensor connector.
2. Disconnect the ECM connector.
3. Measure the resistance between the terminals.

   Standard resistance

   Tester Connection	Condition	Specified Condition
   B50-79 (THW) - B9-2	Always	Below 1 Ω
   B50-78 (ETHW) - B9-1	Always	Below 1 Ω

4. Reconnect the ECM connector.
5. Reconnect the ECT sensor connector.

NG → REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR 

OK → See step   4 

1. Disconnect the ECT sensor connector.
