DTC P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control
DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115
DTC No. |
DTC Detection Condition |
Trouble Area |
P0125 |
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) does not reach closed-loop enabling temperature for 20 minutes (this period varies with engine start ECT) |
|
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The resistance of the ECT sensor varies in proportion to the actual ECT. The ECM supplies a constant voltage to the sensor and monitors the signal output voltage of the sensor. The signal voltage output varies according to the changing resistance of the sensor. After the engine is started, the ECT is monitored through this signal. If the ECT sensor indicates that the engine is not yet warm enough for closed-loop fuel control, despite a specified period of time having elapsed since the engine was started, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.
Example: The ECT is 0C (32F) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the engine is not warm enough to begin closed-loop fuel (air-fuel ratio feedback) control. The ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the sensor or cooling system and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0125)
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
Result
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0125 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
2 INSPECT THERMOSTAT
Standard: 80 to 84C (176 to 183F)
HINT: In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
3 CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Pre-collision seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-collision
system)
If the system determines that a collision is unavoidable, the front seat
belts will retract before the collision.
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion wi ...
