Fault Code

Possible cause

Action

P011B

Engine coolant temperature sensor correlation error with intake air temperature sensor

View and note diagnostic software freeze frame data if available

View and note diagnostic software sensor data

Make sure the sensor connector is secure

Disconnect ECM and proceed to pinpoint test 1

P0115

Engine coolant temperature sensor open circuit or short circuit to 5 Volt sensor supply

P0117

Engine coolant temperature sensor short circuit to ground

P0125

Engine coolant temperature sensor signal low - not reaching temperature required for closed loop fuel control

P050C

Engine coolant temperature sensor signal high - too warm for cold start conditions

Faulty

Rectify fault, proceed to test 6

2

Check cable for short circuit:

- Engine ECM pin B20 to ground

- Engine ECM pin B20 to Engine ECM pin A08

- Engine ECM pin B20 to Engine ECM pin A21

OK

Proceed to test 3

Short circuit

Locate and rectify wiring fault, proceed to test 6

3

Check cable continuity:

- Engine ECM pin B20 to sensor pin 1

- Engine ECM pin B12 to sensor pin 2

- Engine ECM pin A07 to sensor pin 2

- Coolant Temperature Sensor pin 2 to ground

OK

Proceed to test 4

Open circuit

Locate and rectify wiring fault, proceed to test 6

4

Check resistance value:

- Engine ECM pin B20 to ground

Temperature dependent see Resistance Data below

OK

Disconnect temp sensor and proceed to test 5

Open circuit

Disconnect temp sensor and proceed to test 5

Short circuit

Disconnect temp sensor and proceed to test 5

5

Check sensor resistance:

- Sensor pin 1 to sensor pin 2

Temperature dependent see Resistance Data below

OK

Proceed to test 6

Short circuit
