Symptom:
P1115-GENERAL TEMP SENSOR PERFORMANCE
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P1115-GENERAL TEMP SENSOR PERFORMANCE
When Monitored: Engine off time is greater than 480 minutes. Ambient temperature is
greater than -23°C (-10°F).
Set Condition: After a calibrated amount of cool down time, the PCM compares the ECT
Sensor, IAT Sensor and the Ambient Air Temperature Sensor values. If the (AAT and IAT),
(AATand ECT) and (ECT and IAT) are all less than a calibrated value, then the DTC will
set.
GOOD TRIP EQUAL TO ZERO
OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES
SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO BATTERY VOLTAGE
TEMPERATURE SENSOR VOLTAGE BELOW 1.0 VOLT
SIGNAL CIRCUIT OPEN
SENSOR GROUND CIRCUIT OPEN
SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
SIGNAL CIRCUIT SHORTED TO SENSOR GROUND
PCM LOW
PCM HIGH
TEST
1 NOTE: Due to the fact that the PCM compares the IAT, AAT and ECT sensors
to see if they are within a calibrated temp of one another, the use of a block
heater can cause false readings for the PCM. Check with the customer to see
if they use a block heater.
Ignition on, engine not running.
NOTE: It is possible that more then one temperature sensor caused this
DTC to set. After a repair has been made the remaining temperature sensors
must be checked using the DRB temperature probe.
With the DRBIII , read DTCs and record the related Freeze Frame data.
