HINT:
When DTC P011515 is stored, the ECM enters fail-safe mode. During fail-safe mode, the ECM sets the engine coolant temperature judgment value to 80°C (176°F) and the target engine coolant temperature to 82°C (180°F). Fail-safe mode continues until a pass condition is detected.

If the Data List displays a normal value, the normal value may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to monitor the outlet side engine coolant temperature. The engine coolant temperature sensor has a thermistor with a resistance that varies according to the temperature of the engine coolant. When the engine coolant temperature is low, the resistance in the thermistor increases. When the temperature is high, the resistance decreases. These variations in resistance are reflected in the output voltage from the sensor. The ECM monitors the sensor voltage and uses this value to calculate the engine coolant temperature. If the engine coolant temperature sensor output voltage deviates from the normal operating range, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction in the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.
Example:
If the engine coolant temperature sensor output voltage is higher than 4.91 V for 0.5 seconds or more, the ECM will illuminate the MIL and store this DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
HINT:
-
After repair has been completed, clear the DTC and then check that the vehicle has returned to normal by performing the following All Readiness check procedure.
Click here
-
When clearing the permanent DTCs, refer to the "CLEAR PERMANENT DTC" procedure.
Click here
- Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the GTS on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON [A].
- Turn the GTS on.
- Wait 5 seconds or more [B].
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes [C].
-
Read the pending DTCs.
HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P011515.
-
Check the DTC judgment result.
GTS Display
Description
NORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL
- DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE
- DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
HINT:
- If the judgment result is NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result is ABNORMAL, the system is malfunctioning.
-
[A] to [C]: Normal judgment procedure.
The normal judgment procedure is used to complete DTC judgment and also used when clearing permanent DTCs.
- When clearing the permanent DTCs, do not disconnect the cable from the battery terminal or attempt to clear the DTCs during this procedure, as doing so will clear the universal trip and normal judgment histories.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
