DTC P0115: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Malfunction; DTC P0117: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input; DTC P0118: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input: Procedure

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Primary / Coolant Temp.
5. Read the value displayed on the Techstream.

   Standard value

   Between 75 and 100°C (167 and 212°F) with warm engine.

   RESULT
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   -40°C (-40°F)	A
   Higher than 135°C (275°F)	B
   Between 75 and 100°C (167 and 212°F)	C

   HINT: 

   • If there is an open circuit, the Techstream indicates -40°C (-40°F).
   • If there is a short circuit, the Techstream indicates higher than 135°C (275°F).
