P0125 ECT SENSOR

P0125 ECT SENSOR

Description

INFOID:0000000009947295

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 38
(Engine coolant temperature sensor) and ground.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

NOTE:
• If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0116, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0116. Refer to 

EC-

163, "DTC Logic"

.

• If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0117 or P0118, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0117 or

P0118. Refer to 

EC-166, "DTC Logic"

.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

1.

PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

>> GO TO 2.

2.

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FUNCTION

With CONSULT

1.

Turn ignition switch ON.

2.

Select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT.

3.

Check that “COOLAN TEMP/S” is above 10

°

C (50

°

F).

3.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

With CONSULT

1.

Start engine and run it for 65 minutes at idle speed.

2.

Check 1st tip DTC.

If “COOLAN TEMP/S” indication increases to more than 10

°

C (50

°

F) within 65 minutes, stop engine

because the test result will be OK.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to overheat engine.
