DTC P0115 Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunction

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
A thermistor built into the engine coolant temp. sensor changes the resistance value according to the engine
coolant temp.
The structure of the sensor and connection to the ECM is the same as in the intake air temp. circuit malfunc-
tion shown on page DI±228.
If the ECM detects the DTC P0115, it operates fail±safe function in which the engine coolant temperature
is assumed to be 80°C (176°F).

HINT:

If DTCs P0110 (Intake Air Temp. Circuit Malfunction), P0115 (Engine Coolant Temp. Circuit Malfunc-
tion), P0120 (Throttle/Pedal/Position Sensor/Switch ºAº Circuit Malfunction) and P1410 (EGR Valve
Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction) are output simultaneously, E2 (Sensor Ground) may be open.

Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for
determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.

DTC P0120 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch ºAº
Circuit Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The throttle position sensor is mounted in the throttle body and
detects the throttle valve opening angle. When the throttle valve
is fully closed, a voltage of approximately 0.7 V is applied to ter-
minal VTA of the ECM. The voltage applied to the terminals VTA
of the ECM increases in proportion to the opening angle of the
throttle valve and becomes approximately 2.7 ~ 5.2 V when the
throttle valve is fully opened. the ECM judges the vehicle driving
conditions from these signals input from terminals VTA and
uses them as one of the conditions for deciding the air±fuel ratio
correction, power increase correction and fuel±cut control etc.
