Inspection Procedure

HINT:

• If DTCs P0115, P0116 and P0125 are output simultaneously, the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit may be open or short. Perform the troubleshooting of DTC P0115 first.
• Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data from the time when a malfunction occurred.

1. Are there any other codes (besides DTC P0125) being output. 

   PREPARATION: 

   1. Connect the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool to the DLC3.
   2. Turn the ignition switch ON and push the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool main switch ON.
   3. When using the hand-held tester, enter the following menus: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.

   CHECK: 

   Read the DTCs.

   HINT:

   If any other codes besides P0125 are output, perform the troubleshooting for those DTCs first.

   1. B : Go to relevant DTC chart (See  DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART  ). 
   2. A : Go To Next Step 
2. Check thermostat (See  INSPECTION  ). 
   1. NG : Replace thermostat (See  REMOVAL  ). 
   2. OK : Go To Next Step 
3. Check cooling system. 

   CHECK: 

   Check for defects in the cooling system that might cause the system to be too cold, such as abnormal radiator fan operation or a modified cooling system.

   1. NG : Repair or replace cooling system. 
   2. OK : Replace engine coolant temperature sensor.
