P0115
Engine coolant temperature circuit fault
Wat het betekent
The coolant temperature sensor circuit signal is invalid or unavailable. Low coolant or thermostat faults require separate cooling-system/range-performance diagnosis (P0116 or P0128 as applicable).
Symptomen
- cooling fan running all the time
- wrong or no temperature gauge reading
- hard starting, rough running or higher fuel consumption
- engine warning light
Waarschijnlijke oorzaken, meest waarschijnlijke eerst
| No. | Oorzaak |
|---|---|
| 01 | failed coolant temperature sensor |
| 02 | open or shorted sensor wiring |
| 03 | connector corrosion |
| 04 | sensor ground fault |
| 05 | ECU input fault |
Wat te controleren, stap voor stap
- 01Check the coolant level first
- 02Compare the coolant temperature in live data with outside air temperature after an overnight cold soak, then with the real warm engine temperature
- 03Inspect the sensor connector for corrosion and broken locking tabs
- 04Measure the sensor resistance against temperature and check the wiring to the ECU
- 05Replace the sensor (usually cheap) and bleed the cooling system afterwards
