DTC P0116: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range / Performance Problem [08/2017 - 08/2019]: Description

DTC Code	DTC Detection Condition	Trouble Area
P0116	When either of following conditions met (2 trip detection logic): When cold engine started and engine warmed up, Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor value does not change. After warmed up engine stopped and then next cold engine start performed, ECT sensor value does not change.	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) (a) Vehicle driven at varying speeds (accelerated and decelerated) (b) 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) (a) Vehicle driven at varying speeds (accelerated and decelerated) (b) ECT measurements remain within 1°C (1.8°F) of initial ECT on 6 successive occasions	Thermostat ECT sensor
