Component Description

NBS001TI

NOTE:
If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0117 or P0118, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0117 or
P0118. Refer to 

EC-215, "DTC P0117, P0118 ECT SENSOR"

 .

The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant
temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the ther-
mistor decreases as temperature increases.

<Reference data>

*: This data is reference value and is measured between ECM terminal 73 (Engine
coolant temperature sensor) and ground.

CAUTION:

Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in dam-
age to the ECM's transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the ground.

DTC Confirmation Procedure

NBS001TK

CAUTION:

Be careful not to overheat engine.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

 WITH CONSULT-II

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-II.

3.

Check that “COOLAN TEMP/S” is above 10

°

C (50

°

F).

If it is above 10

°

C (50

°

F), the test result will be OK.

If it is below 10

°

C (50

°

F), go to following step.

4.

Start engine and run it for 65 minutes at idle speed.
If “COOLAN TEMP/S” increases to more than 10

°

C (50

°

F)

within 65 minutes, stop engine because the test result will
be OK.

5.

If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to 

EC-229, "Diagnostic Procedure"

.

 WITH GST

Follow the procedure WITH CONSULT-II above.

Diagnostic Procedure

NBS001TL

1. 

CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS

1.

Turn ignition switch OFF.

2.

Loosen and retighten three ground screws on the body.
Refer to 

EC-154, "Ground Inspection"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 2.

NG

>> Repair or replace ground connections.

2. 

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Refer to 

EC-230, "Component Inspection"

 .

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 3.

NG

>> Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.

3. 

CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATION

When the engine is under cold [lower than 70

°

C (158

°

F)] condition, grasp lower radiator hose and confirm the

engine coolant does not flow.

OK or NG

OK

>> GO TO 4.

NG

>> Repair or replace thermostat. Refer to 

CO-22, "THERMOSTAT AND WATER CONTROL VALVE"

 .

4. 

CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Refer to 

EC-145, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT"

 .

Refer to 

EC-217, "Wiring Diagram"

 .

>> INSPECTION END
