SYMPTOM
P0116-ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE PERFORMANCE

WHEN MONITORED
Engine off time is greater than 480 minutes. Ambient temperature is greater than 4° C (39° F).

SET CONDITION
After a calibrated amount of cool down time, the PCM compares the ECT Sensor, IAT Sensor and the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor values. If the ECT Sensor value is not within 2° C (18° F) of the other two temperature sensors an error is detected. Two Trip Fault.

POSSIBLE CAUSES
- Good trip equal to zero
- (K2) ECT signal circuit shorted to battery voltage
- ECT sensor voltage below 1.0 Volt
- (K2) ECT signal circuit open
- (k4) sensor ground circuit open
- (K2) ECT signal circuit shorted to ground
- (K2) ECT signal shorted to (K4) sensor ground
- PCM high
- PCM low
