EC-172 < COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS > [QR25DE] P0125 ECT SENSOR P0125 ECT SENSOR Description INFOID:0000000004362538 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> *: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminal 46 CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transis- DTC Logic INFOID:0000000004211411 DTC DETECTION LOGIC NOTE: • If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0117 or P0118, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0117 or P0118. Refer to . • If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0116, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0116. Refer to . DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE 1. PRECONDITIONING If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following before conduct- ing the next test. 1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. 2. Turn ignition switch ON. 3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds. >> GO TO 2.
