P0117

The ECM detects that the ECT is greater than 140掳C (284掳F) for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 10 s.

P0118

The ECM detects that the ECT is less than -39掳C (-38掳F) for greater than 1 s or a cumulative of 10 s.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTC P0117 and P0118 are Type B DTCs.

The ECM may activate the Cooling Fans at high speed.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

DTC P0117 and P0118 are Type B DTCs.

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 in the circuits of either the ECT or IAT sensor could set a DTC.

* DTC's must be cleared before Engine Cooling Fan's are Commanded Off.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Engine idling for 1 min. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTCs P0117 and P0118 should not set.

2. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the B34 ECT sensor.

Caution: Do NOT use a test lamp to test the continuity of the circuit. Damage to the control module may occur due to excessive current

draw.

Note: The control module or the sensor may be damaged if the circuit is shorted to battery positive voltage.
