ENGINE (J05E)/TROUBLESHOOTING
2–252
DTC: P011A
EN01H02127030602016046
P011A: Engine coolant temperature sensor - rationality
INFORMATION
1.
Technical description
•
Two engine coolant temperature sensors are installed in thermostat case and constantly measure the engine cool-
ant temperature.
•
Although some exhaust gas components operate after the engine coolant temperature has risen to some degree
(engine warm up), when an engine coolant temperature sensor reads a value lower than the actual temperature, it
means it is not working properly. Diagnosis is therefore required to detect if there is something wrong with the char-
acteristics of the engine coolant temperature sensor.
<Description of malfunction>
•
Incompatible readings from the 2 engine coolant temperature sensors are detected.
2.
DTC set condition
(1)
DTC detection condition
•
Engine speed is at least 500 r/min or engine is stopped.
•
Battery voltage is in the range of 10 V to 16 V.
•
Intake air temperature is -20
C {-4
F} or higher.
(2)
Judgement criteria
•
Difference between the 2 engine coolant temperature sensors is at least 15
C {59
F}.
3.
Reset condition
•
Problem does not recur in the same driving cycle.
•
Normal operation is restored when in subsequent driving cycles, readings are in the normal range within the above
detection conditions.
•
Three driving cycles must be deemed normal for MIL to be OFF.
4.
Indication, warning or system control regulation when the DTC is set.
•
MIL: ON
•
SVS light: OFF
