DTC P128A:00

CHT sensor circuit intermittent/erratic

DETECTION CONDITION
•  Indicates the CHT circuit became intermittently open or short while the engine was running.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  CHT sensor connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to ground in wiring harness between CHT sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AV
•  PCM connector or terminals malfunction
•  Short to power supply in wiring harness between CHT sensor terminal A and PCM terminal 2AV
•  Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
―  CHT sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AV
―  CHT sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2G
•  CHT sensor malfunction
•  PCM malfunction

Diagnostic procedure

STEP

INSPECTION

ACTION

1
VERIFY RELATED SERVICE INFORMATION AVAILABILITY
•  Verify related Service Information availability.
•  Is any related Service Information available?
Yes
Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available Service Information.
•  If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
2
INSPECT CHT SENSOR CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Disconnect the CHT sensor connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
3
INSPECT CHT SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GROUND
•  CHT sensor connector is disconnected.
•  Inspect for continuity between CHT sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side) and body ground.
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
If the short to ground circuit could be detected:
•  Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to ground.
If the short to ground circuit could not be detected:
•  Replace the PCM (short to ground in the PCM internal circuit).
Go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
4
INSPECT PCM CONNECTOR CONDITION
•  Disconnect the PCM connector.
•  Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged/pulled-out pins, corrosion).
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Repair or replace the connector and/or terminals, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
5
INSPECT CHT SENSOR CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER SUPPLY
•  CHT sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).
•  Measure the voltage at the CHT sensor terminal A (wiring harness-side).
•  Is there any voltage?
Yes
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible short to power supply, then go to Step 8.
No
Go to the next step.
6
INSPECT CHT SENSOR CIRCUIT FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
•  CHT sensor and PCM connectors are disconnected.
•  Turn the ignition switch off.
•  Inspect for continuity between the following terminals (wiring harness-side):
―  CHT sensor terminal A—PCM terminal 2AV
―  CHT sensor terminal B—PCM terminal 2G
•  Is there continuity?
Yes
Go to the next step.
No
Repair or replace the wiring harness for a possible open circuit, then go to Step 8.
7
INSPECT CHT SENSOR
•  Is there any malfunction?
Yes
Replace the CHT sensor, then go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
8
VERIFY DTC TROUBLESHOOTING COMPLETED
•  Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
•  Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the M-MDS.
•  Retrieve the DTCs using the M-MDS.
•  Is the same DTC present?
Yes
Repeat the inspection from Step 1.
•  If the malfunction recurs, replace the PCM.
Go to the next step.
No
Go to the next step.
9
VERIFY AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE
•  Perform the “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE”.
•  Are any DTCs present?
Yes
Go to the applicable DTC inspection.
No
Troubleshooting completed.
