TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-183

DTC P0117: Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input

.

CIRCUIT OPERATION

• 5-volt voltage is applied to the engine coolant 

temperature sensor output terminal (terminal No. 
1) from the ECM (terminal No. 26) via the resistor 
in the ECM. The ground terminal (terminal No. 2) 
is grounded with ECM (terminal No. 27).

• The engine coolant temperature sensor is a neg-

ative temperature coefficient type of resistor. It 
has the characteristic that when the engine cool-
ant temperature rises the resistance decreases.

• The engine coolant temperature sensor output 

voltage increases when the resistance increases 
and decreases when the resistance decreases.

TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION

• The engine coolant temperature sensor converts 

the engine coolant temperature to a voltage and 
outputs it.

• The ECM checks whether this voltage is within a 

specified range.

.

DESCRIPTIONS OF MONITOR METHODS

Engine coolant temperature sensor output voltage is 

out of specified range.

.

MONITOR EXECUTION

Continuous

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) DIAGNOSIS

TSB Revision

MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION (MFI) <2.4L ENGINE>

13A-185

Check Condition

• 2 seconds or more have passed since the engine 

starting sequence was completed.

Judgement Criterion

• Engine coolant temperature sensor output volt-

age has continued to be 0.1 volt or lower for 2 
seconds.

.

OBD-II DRIVE CYCLE PATTERN

• Refer to Diagnostic Function − OBD-II Drive 

Cycle 

− Pattern 23 

P.13A-11

.

.

TROUBLESHOOTING HINTS (The most 
likely causes for this code to be set are:)

• Engine coolant temperature sensor failed.

• Shorted engine coolant temperature sensor cir-

cuit, or connector damage.

• ECM failed. 

DIAGNOSIS

Required Special Tools:

• MB991958: Scan Tool (M.U.T.-III Sub Assembly)

• MB991824: V.C.I.

• MB991827: USB Cable

• MB991910: Main Harness A

STEP 1. Using scan tool MB991958, check data list item 6: 
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to scan tool MB991958, always turn the 
ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position before con-
necting or disconnecting scan tool MB991958.
(1) Connect scan tool MB991958 to the data link connector.
(2) Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(3) Set scan tool MB991958 to the data reading mode for item 

6, Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor.

• The engine coolant temperature and temperature 

shown with the scan tool should approximately match.

(4) Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
Q: Is the sensor operating properly?

YES : It can be assumed that this malfunction is intermittent. 

Refer to GROUP 00, How to Use 
Troubleshooting/Inspection Service Points 

− How to 

Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions 

P.00-15

.

NO :  Go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Check harness connector B-09 at the engine 
coolant temperature sensor and harness connector B-10 
at ECM for damage.
Q: Is the harness connector in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 3.
NO :  Repair or replace it. Refer to GROUP 00E, Harness 

Connector Inspection 

P.00E-2

. Then go to Step 5.

13A-186

STEP 3. Check for short circuit to ground between engine 
coolant temperature sensor connector B-09 (terminal No. 
1) and ECM connector B-10 (terminal No. 26).
Q: Is the harness wire in good condition?

YES : Go to Step 4.
NO :  Repair it. Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check the engine coolant temperature sensor.
Refer to Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 

P.13A-874

.

Q: Is the engine coolant temperature sensor normal?

YES : Replace the ECM. When the ECM is replaced, 

register the ID code. Refer to GROUP 42B, Diagnosis 
− ID Code Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles 

with KOS> 

P.42B-15

 or GROUP 42C, Diagnosis 

− ID 

Codes Registration Judgment Table <Vehicles with 
WCM> 

P.42C-10

. Then go to Step 5.

NO :  Replace the engine coolant temperature sensor. Then 

go to Step 5.

STEP 5. Test the OBD-II drive cycle.
(1) Carry out a test drive with the drive cycle pattern. Refer to 

Diagnostic Function 

− OBD-II Drive Cycle − Pattern 23 

P.13A-11

.

(2) Check the diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
Q: Is DTC P0117 set?

YES : Retry the troubleshooting.
NO :  The inspection is complete.
