1F – 74 ENGINE CONTROLS MAA1F110 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) – P0118 ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR HIGH VOLTAGE Circuit Description The coolant temperature sensor (ECT) uses a thermis- The ECM supplies a voltage on the signal circuit to the As the engine warms, the sensor resistance becomes The ECT sensor is used to the following items: D Fuel delivery. D Lock Up Clutch (LUC). D Ignition. D Evaporator Emission (EVAP) Canister Purge Valve. D Idle Air Control (IAC) valve. D Electric cooling fan. Conditions for Setting the DTC D This DTC can be stored in “key-on” status. D The engine rum time is greater than 3 seconds. D The ECT sensor indicates that the engine coolant ° C(–40 ° F). D ECT voltage is greater than 4.98V. D A low voltage condition exits. Action Taken when the DTC Sets D The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illuminate. D The ECM will record operating conditions at the time D A history DTC is stored. D The coolant fan turns ON. D The ECM will substitutes a fixed MAP value and use Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC D The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition D A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm-up D DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool. Diagnostic Aids After the engine has started, the ECT should rise steadi- ° C(194 ° F) then stabilize when the thermo- stat opens. Use the temperature vs. resistance values table to eval- |
