P0125 ECT SENSOR EC-717 < COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS > [QR25DE EXCEPT FOR CALIFORNIA] C D E F G H I J K L M A EC N P O P0125 ECT SENSOR Description INFOID:0000000004349687 The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the ther- mistor decreases as temperature increases. <Reference data> *: These data are reference values and are measured between ECM terminal 46 CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may result in damage to the ECM's transis- DTC Logic INFOID:0000000004349688 DTC DETECTION LOGIC NOTE: • If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0117 or P0118, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0117 or P0118. Refer to . • If DTC P0125 is displayed with P0116, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0116. Refer to . DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE 1. PRECONDITIONING If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test. >> GO TO 2. 2. CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR FUNCTION With CONSULT-III 1. Turn ignition switch ON.
