Inspection Procedure

  1. CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO P011B) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
    5. Read DTCs.

      Result Proceed to
      P011B A
      P011B and other DTCs B

      HINT:

      If any DTCs other than P011B are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

    B:  GO TO DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHART 

    A: Go To Next Step 

  2. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more.

      HINT:

      It is necessary leave the vehicle for 7 hours or more to allow conditions similar to the DTC detection conditions.

    2. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    3. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    4. Turn the tester on.
    5. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / All Data / Intake Air.
    6. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      OK: 

      Difference between the intake air temperature and the actual outside air temperature is within 10°C 

      HINT:

      Temperature readings on the vehicle's outside temperature gauge (if equipped) are not suitable for comparing to the intake air temperature reading. The outside temperature gauge has a significant delay built in to prevent temperature swings from being displayed on its display. Use an accurate thermometer to determine the outside air temperature.

    NG: REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW METER  (See ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION  )

    OK: Go To Next Step 

  3. READ VALUE OF TECHSTREAM (COOLANT TEMPERATURE) 
    1. Connect Techstream to the DLC3.
    2. Turn the power switch ON (IG).
    3. Turn the tester on.
    4. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / All Data / Coolant Temp.
    5. Read the value displayed on the tester.

      OK: 

      The difference between the coolant temperature and the actual outside air temperature is within 10°C (18°F). 

      HINT:

      If the result is not as specified, check that there are heat sources such as a block heater in the engine compartment.

    NG: REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR  (See REMOVAL  )

    OK: REPLACE ECM  (See REMOVAL  )
