DESCRIPTION
Refer to DTC P0115 (See page ES-133).
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 0°C (32°F) 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)
(a) Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(c) Turn the tester on.
(d) Select the following menu items: DIAGNOSIS / ENHANCED OBD II / DTC INFO / CURRENT CODES.
(e) Read the DTCs.
Result
HINT:
If any DTCs other than P0125 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
2 INSPECT THERMOSTAT
(a) Remove the thermostat (See page CO-16).
(b) Check the valve opening temperature of the thermostat (See page CO-17).
Standard: 80 to 84°C (176 to 183°F)
HINT:
In addition to the above check, confirm that the valve is completely closed when the temperature is below the standard.
(c) Reinstall the thermostat (See page CO-17).
3 CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
(a) Check for defects in the cooling system that might cause the system to be too cold, such as abnormal radiator fan operation or any modifications.
REPLACE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (See page ES-516)

Brake Switch "B" Circuit High
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this circuit is to prevent the engine from stalling while
driving in lock-up condition when
brakes are suddenly applied.
When the brake pedal is depressed, this switch sends a signals to the ECM. Then
the ECM cancels the
operation of the lock-up clutch while ...
