DTC P0117: Inspection

ECT Sensor 1 Inspection 

NOTE:  Since there is no direct method to test the component itself, troubleshooting is performed on the related components.

Test Procedure 

Unit output voltage inspection

• Preparation
  • ECT sensor 1 connector (2P): disconnected

• Procedure
  • Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
  • Confirm the HDS [ECT Sensor 1 Voltage].

• Normal Conditions
  • HDS [ECT Sensor 1 Voltage] value is more than 0.17 V  .

Results 

• If it is normal, there is a problem with ECT sensor 1.
• If it is abnormal, there is a problem with other related components.

TW Shorted Wire Inspection 

NOTICE:  

Before disconnecting the PCM connector, jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

Test Procedure 

• Preparation
  • PCM connector E (114P): disconnected
  • ECT sensor 1 connector (2P): disconnected
• Procedure
  • Perform the inspection according to the following chart.

    Refer to the Open/Shorted Wire Inspection Description for the method to inspect the shorted circuit below, then start to inspect according to circumstances.
