What does the p0118 Honda coolant temperature sensor mean?

What does the p0118 Honda coolant temperature sensor mean?

P0118 Honda Meaning. The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature.

What does the ECT code p0118 mean?

Code P0118 is the result of the ECT sensor indicating a high voltage input from the coolant temperature circuit. (typically over 4.7V) What Are the Symptoms of Code P0118?

What is the diagnostic code for engine coolant temperature?

Cost of diagnosing the P0118 code. P0118 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Circuit High Open Problem”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.

What causes the p0118 OBD-II trouble code?

All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty. P0118 is the OBD-II generic code that indicates the Engine Control Module (ECM) has seen the ECT sensor output go more than 4.91 V or less than -40°C (-40°F). What causes the P0118 code?

What is the p0118 coolant temperature sensor circuit?

P0118 Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit Hi Voltage: diagnostic checks for a resistance corresponding to a very low engine coolant temperature. Engine control module (ECM) or PCM (powertrain control module) supplies 5 V to the ECT sensor signal circuit and a ground for the low reference circuit.

What does it mean when a car has a code p0118?

Vehicle may start, but run very poorly, blowing black smoke, running very rough and misfiring A code P0118 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: A bad connection at the sensor An open in the ground circuit between the ECT sensor and the PCM A short in the voltage feed between the sensor and the PCM

Cost of diagnosing the P0118 code. P0118 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for “Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor Circuit High Open Problem”. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.

Why does my 2002 Mini Cooper p0118 still come back?

2002 Mini Cooper S P0118 is still came back after I have replaced a PCM sensor. Does outside temperature relate to this problem where I have a bad outside temp TC (fluctuate reading on the gauge). Engine temp is reading normal (at the mid range). What should I do next to solve it.
