- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Circuit Intermittent
Diagnostic Fault Information
Typical Scan Tool Data
Circuit Description
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor is a variable resistor that measures the temperature of the engine coolant. The engine control module
(ECM) supplies 5 V to the ECT signal circuit and supplies a ground to the low reference circuit. The ECM monitors the performance of the ECT
sensor. If the ECM detects excessive noise or rapid fluctuations in the ECT signal, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the difference between temperature, resistance, and voltage:
Conditions for Running the DTC
* DTC P0117 or P0118 is not set.
* The ignition is ON or the engine is operating.
* DTC P0119 runs continuously once the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The ECM detects that the ECT changed 卤5掳C (卤9掳F) greater than the expected value during a calibrated amount of time.
* The condition exists for approximately 1 min.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0119 is a Type B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0119 is a Type B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
* Test the ECT sensor at various temperature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A skewed sensor can result in a
DTC or a driveability condition. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Specifications/Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor).
* If the vehicle has sat overnight, the IAT sensor and the ECT sensor values should display within 3掳C (5掳F).
* After starting a cold engine, the ECT sensor temperature should rise steadily, then stabilize after the thermostat opens.
* High resistance on either the ECT sensor signal circuit or the ECT sensor low reference circuit could set a DTC.
