DTC P0125: ECT Excessive Time To Enter Closed Loop Fuel Control: Description

An Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor monitors temperature of coolant. This input is used by Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for engine control and as an enabling criteria for some diagnostics. Airflow coming into engine is accumulated and used to determine if engine has been driven within conditions that may allow engine coolant to heat normally to thermostat regulating temperature. If coolant temperature does not increase normally or does not reach regulating temperature of thermostat, diagnostics that use engine coolant temperature as enabling criteria may not run when expected. This DTC will only run once per ignition cycle within the enabling condition. This DTC will set when there has been excessive time to reach minimum coolant temperature required for closed loop fuel control.
