_______________________________________________

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related

diagnostic.

• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0116 Engine Coolant Rationality (Figure OBD-28)

Figure OBD-28: Coolant Temperature/Mass Air Flow and Air Intake Temperature Sensor Circuits

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 volts to the signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit. When the engine coolant
temperatures are low, the resistance is high. When the engine coolant temperatures are high the resistance is low. The ECM uses
this high side coolant rationality test to determine if the ECT input is skewed high. The ECM will record the amount of time the en-
gine is OFF. At restart the ECM will compare the temperature difference between the ECT and intake air temperature (IAT). Be-
fore failing this diagnostic, the ECM will perform the calculation to determine the presence of a block heater. If the temperature
difference is not within the calculated range, after the predetermined engine OFF time, DTC P0116 sets.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

If the ECM detects a start-up temperature difference between the ECT sensor and the IAT sensor of more than 5°C (9°F), then the
vehicle must be driven for more than 400 seconds over 24 km/h (15 mph) and the engine speed must be more than 600 RPM. If the
IAT sensor temperature decreases more than 5°C (9°F) then a block heater is detected and the test is aborted. If the IAT sensor tem-
perature does not decrease, then a block heater was not detected and DTC P0116 sets.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic
runs and fails.

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control
module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle,

the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to
the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related

diagnostic.

• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

NOTE: The engine needs to have been OFF for at least 10 hours
for the engine coolant temperature (ECT) and the intake air tem-
perature (IAT) to be at ambient temperature. The vehicle should
not have changed environments during this time.

Has the engine been OFF for the specified amount of time?

sensor.

2.

Remove the ECT sensor.

3.

Place the sensors on a work surface away from any heat
source.

4.

Allow the sensors to reach the ambient air temperature for
30-60 minutes.

Are the sensors at the ambient temperature?
