5.6.2 Monitoring Structure
Thermostat Monitoring
| Component/System | Fault Codes | Monitoring Strategy Description | Malfunction Criteria | Threshold value | Secondary Parameter | Enable Conditions | Time Required | MIL Illumination | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thermostat stuck open | P0128 | Functional check using engine coolant and radiator outlet temperature | Time after start (depends on start temperature) ECT at engine start |
from > 300s at -30 °C to > 120s at > 8.3°C <60°C |
50 s / once per drive cycle | two driving cycles | |||
| Step 1 Radiator outlet temperature within window |
ECT - 6.8°C < Radiator out temp < ECT + 6.8° C | ||||||||
| Step 2 Radiator outlet temp AND ECT |
> Radiator outlet temperature at start + 30.0°C "LESS THAN EQUAL TO" 72.0°C | Total time in ORFCO Ambient temperature | < 60 s > -10°C |
||||||
| Coolant Temperature Sensor (Radiator Outlet) | P1118 | Short to Battery positive or open circuit | Implausible reading | < - 38.3°C | If intake air temperature Then wait for | < -5.25°C 20 s after start |
2.5 s / continuous | two driving cycles | |
| P1117 | Short to ground | > 138°C | |||||||
| P1113 | Plausibility checks | ||||||||
| Short Test (at engine start) | Radiator Outlet Temperature at start - ECT at start | > 15°C | ECT at start | < 60°C | Immediately/Once per engine start | ||||
| Main Test | Maximum radiator outlet temperature- minimum radiator outlet temperature | < 2.3°C | Short test ECT Engine speed Engine operating condition |
Vehicle speed | passed > 60 °C > 1000 RPM Part load >6.2 mph |
||||
| -10°C followed by 240 s to confirm the fault condition/Once per engine start | |||||||||
If the above table does not include details of the following enabling conditions: - IAT, ECT, vehicle speed range, and time after engine start-up then the state of these parameters has no influence upon the execution of the monitor.
