Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module
(ECM) supplies 5 V to the ECT signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the mutual performance of the
ECT and the intake air temperature (IAT) signals. The ECM monitors the warm up and cool down behavior of the sensors, after a vehicle driven at
operating temperature is shut down. If the ECM detects that the ECT is not with in a predetermined range of IAT after a long soak, or the ECT and
IAT are not within a range of each other, as compared to a previous cold start, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:
Conditions for Running the DTC
Condition 1
* Before the ECM can report DTC P0116 failed, DTC P0101 must run and pass.
