DTC P0128 Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature)
HINT: This DTC relates to the thermostat.
DESCRIPTION This DTC is set when the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) does not reach 75C (167F) despite sufficient engine warm-up time

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM estimates the ECT based on the starting temperature, engine loads, and engine speeds. The ECM then compares the estimated temperature with the actual ECT. When the estimated ECT reaches 75C (167F), the ECM checks the actual ECT. If the actual ECT is less than 75C (167F), the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the thermostat or the engine cooling system and sets the DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT: Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction
1 CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0128)
Result
HINT: If any DTCs other than P0128 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
2 CHECK COOLING SYSTEM
3 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.

Throttle Actuator Control Motor Current Range / Performance
DESCRIPTION
The ETCS (Electronic Throttle Control System) has a dedicated power supply
circuit. The voltage (+BM)
is monitored and when it is low (less than 4 V), the ECM determines that there
is a malfunction in the
ETCS and cuts off the current to the throttle actuator.
When the volt ...
Park / Neutral Position Switch Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The fold seat control ECU receives signals from the Park/Neutral position
switch and controls the seat
stowing and return operations. If the shift lever is in any position other than
P the seat cannot be operated.
If the ignition switch is in ACC or IG the seat cannot be operate ...
