CEDURE, Inspection Mode.>.

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK TIRE SIZE.

Is the tire size as specified and 
the same size as three other 
wheels?

Go to step 2.

Replace the tire.

2

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT.
Check the following items:
• Amount of engine coolant
• Engine coolant freeze
• Contamination of engine coolant

Is the engine coolant normal?

Go to step 3.

Fill or replace the 
engine coolant. 
<Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-14, 
REPLACEMENT, 
Engine Coolant.>

3

CHECK THERMOSTAT.

Does the thermostat remain 
opened?

Replace the ther-
mostat. <Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-18, 
Thermostat.>

Replace the 
engine coolant 
temperature sen-
sor. <Ref. to

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 
SENSOR.
Measure the resistance between engine cool-
ant temperature sensor terminals when the 
engine coolant is cold and after warmed up.

Terminals

No. 1 — No. 2:

Is the resistance of engine cool-
ant temperature sensor differ-
ent between when engine 
coolant is cold and after 
warmed up?

Repair the poor 
contact of ECM 
connector.

Replace the 
engine coolant 
temperature sen-
sor. <Ref. to 
FU(H4DOTC)-31, 
Engine Coolant 
Temperature Sen-
sor.>

Y: DTC P0128 COOLANT THERMOSTAT (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE 

BELOW THERMOSTAT REGULATING TEMPERATURE)

DTC DETECTING CONDITION:
• Two consecutive driving cycles with fault
• GENERAL DESCRIPTION <Ref. to GD(H4DOTC)-44, DTC P0128 COOLANT THERMOSTAT (ENGINE
COOLANT TEMPERATURE BELOW THERMOSTAT REGULATING TEMPERATURE), Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) Detecting Criteria.>
TROUBLE SYMPTOM:
Thermostat remains open.

CAUTION:
After repair or replacement of faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-
52, OPERATION, Clear Memory Mode.>, and Inspection Mode <Ref. to EN(H4DOTC)(diag)-43, PRO-
CEDURE, Inspection Mode.>.

Step

Check

Yes

No

1

CHECK ENGINE COOLANT.

Are the coolant level and mix-
ture ratio of engine coolant to 
anti-freeze solution correct?

Go to step 2.

Replace the 
engine coolant. 
<Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-14, 
REPLACEMENT, 
Engine Coolant.>

2

CHECK RADIATOR FAN.
1) Start the engine.
2) Check the radiator fan operation.

Does the radiator fan continu-
ously rotate for 3 minutes or 
more during idling?

Repair radiator fan 
circuit. <Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-25, 
Radiator Main Fan 
and Fan Motor.> 
and <Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-27, 
Radiator Sub Fan 
and Fan Motor.>

Replace the ther-
mostat. <Ref. to 
CO(H4DOTC)-18,
