General Information: DTC Detecting Condition

Item Detecting Condition Possible cause
DTC Strategy
  • Monitor the engine coolant temperature
  1. ECTS
Enable Conditions Case1
  • Shutdown time > 180 minutes
  • Intake air-temperature at start-up < 40°C (104°F)
  • No disabling faults (ECTS)
  • Engine running > 60 seconds
  • Minimum airflow is satisfied for a certain time.
Case2
  • 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 < 45°C (113 °F)
  • Engine running state
  • Coolant temperature > 50°C (122°F)
  • Intake air temperature < 35°C (95°F)
Case3
  • Engine running state
  • Before startup, leave it under IG-OFF over 6 hours
  • No disabling faults (DTCs related to HO2S, MAFS/MAPS, catalyst, fuel system, ECTS, or misfire)
Threshold value Case1
  • When the start-up engine coolant temperature does not rise by 1.5°C (2.7°F).
Case2
  • Coolant temperature ≥ 110°C (230°F)

    (Average airflow< 50 g/sec and filtered airflow< 40 g/sec)

Case3
  • The difference between the current its temperature and the startup temperature < 1.5°C (2.7°F)
Diagnosis Time Case1
  • Immediately
Case2
  • Once per driving cycle (about 2 minutes)
Case3
  • Once per driving cycle (More than 120 seconds failure)
MIL On Condition
  • 2 Drive Cycles
