f

Faulty Throttle Position sensor – With the ignition key
ON engine OFF observe the TP sensor display on the
Tech 2 while slowly depressing the accelerator to wide
open throttle. If a voltage over 4.88 volts is seen at any
point in normal accelerator travel, replace the TP
sensor.

If Diagnostic Trouble Code P0123 cannot be duplicated,
the information included in the Failure Records data can
be useful in determining vehicle mileage since the
Diagnostic Trouble Code was last set. If it is determined
that the Diagnostic Trouble Code occurs intermittently,
performing theDiagnostic Trouble Code P1121
Diagnostic Chart may isolate the cause of the fault.

Test Description

RODEO X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0125 INSUFFICIENT COOLANT TEM-

PERATURE FOR CLOSED LOOP FUEL CONTROL

D06RX044

Circuit Description

To provide the best possible combination of driveability,
fuel economy, and emission control, a ”Closed Loop”
air/fuel metering system is used. When the vehicle is first
started, the powertrain control module (PCM) controls
fuel delivery in ”Open Loop” ignoring the heated oxygen
sensor (HO2S) signals and calculating air/fuel ratio based
on inputs from the engine coolant temperature, throttle
position, and mass air flow sensors.
If the PCM detects that the ECT sensor has not reached a
sufficient reading to achieve ”Closed Loop” within a
specified amount of time, DTC P0125 will set. DTC
P0125 is a type B code.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

f

No MAP, IAT, ECT, TP, Misfire, Injector, or VSS DTC
codes set.

All the above mentioned conditions are true and any
combination of the following three tests fail three times in
two consecutive ignition cycles (for a total of six failures):

Warm Case Test

f

Start–up ECT value is less than 29

°

C (84

°

F).

f

IAT is greater than 10

°

C (50

°

F).

f

Accumulated airflow is greater than 1500 grams.

f

Engine run time is greater than 90 seconds.

f

Time for coolant to reach stabilized ”Closed Loop”
value is less than 120 seconds.

Cold Case Test

f

IAT is between –7

°

C (20

°

F) and 10

°

C (50

°

F)

f

Accumulated airflow is greater than 2000 grams.

f

Engine run time is less than 225 seconds.

f

Time for coolant to reach stabilized ”Closed Loop”
value is less than 300 seconds.

Other Case Test

f

IAT is between –30

°

C (–22

°

F) and –7

°

C (20

°

F).

f

Accumulated airflow is greater than 3600 grams.

f

Engine run time is less than 450 seconds.

f

Time for coolant to reach stabilized ”Closed Loop”
value is less than 600 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

f

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.

f

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the Diagnostic Trouble Code was set as Freeze
Frame and in the Failure Records data.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

f

The PCM will turn the MIL OFF on the third consecutive
trip cycle during which the diagnostic has been run and
the fault condition is no longer present.

6E1–142

RODEO X22SE 2.2L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSION

f

A history Diagnostic Trouble Code P0125 will clear
after 40 consecutive warm–up cycles have occurred
without a fault.

f

Diagnostic Trouble Code P0125 can be cleared by
using the Scan Tool’s ”Clear Info” function.

Diagnostic Aids

DTC P0125 set indicates a faulty ECT sensor. Comparing
the engine coolant temperature displayed on a Tech 2
with actual coolant temperature measured with a
thermometer may isolate this condition. If the displayed
engine coolant temperature is not close to the actual
coolant temperature, replace the ECT sensor.
Check for the following conditions:

f

Poor connection at PCM – Inspect harness connectors
for back–out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor
terminal–to–wire connection.

f

Damaged Harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage; open circuits, shorts to ground, or shorts to
voltage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
display on the Tech 2 while moving connectors and
wiring harnesses related to the sensor. A change in the
display will indicate the location of the fault.

If DTC P0125 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the
Diagnostic Chart:

2. Comparing the engine coolant temperature

displayed on a Tech 2 with actual coolant
temperature measured with a thermometer may
isolate this condition. If the displayed engine coolant
temperature is not close to the actual coolant
temperature, replace the ECT sensor. If the
temperatures are closed, the fault is intermittent;
refer to Diagnostic Aids.
