DTC Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
Case 1 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature
  1. Poor connection
  2. ECTS
Enable Conditions
  • Engine running
  • 6 hour cold soak IG-OFF
  • No disabling faults (DTCs related to HO2S, MAFS/MAPS, catalyst, fuel system, ECTS, or misfire)
Threshold Value
  • The difference between the current temperature and startup temperature less than 1.5 °C(34.7°F)
Diagnostic Time
  • Once per driving cycle (More than 120 seconds failure)
MIL On Condition
  • MIL On
Case 2 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature
Enable Conditions
  • Coolant sensor is normal
  • No disabling faults present (DTCs related to MAFS/MAPS, catalyst, fuel system or engine oil temperature sensor)
  • Coolant Temperature at startup less than 45°C(113 °F)
  • Engine running
  • Coolant temperature greater than 50°C(122 °F)
  • Intake air temperature less than 35°C(95 °F)
Threshold Value
  • Coolant temperature greater than 110°C (230 °F) (Average airflow less than 50 g/sec and filtered airflow less than 30 g/sec)
Diagnostic Time
  • Once per driving cycle (about 2 minutes)
MIL On Condition
  • NO MIL (DTC only)
Case 3 DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature
Enable Conditions
  • Shutdown time greater than 180 minutes
  • Intake air-temperature at start-up less than 40°C(104°F)
  • No disabling faults (ECTS)
  • Engine running greater than 60 seconds
  • Minimum airflow is satisfied for a certain time.
Threshold Value
  • When the start-up engine coolant temperature does not rise by 3 °C (37.4°F)
Diagnostic Time
  • Immediate
MIL On Condition
  • NO MIL (DTC only)
