DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE:
If DTC P0128 is displayed with DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304, first perform the trouble diagnosis for P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304. Refer to EC-269, "DTC Logic".
Engine coolant temperature has not risen enough to open the thermostat even though the engine has run long enough.
This is due to a leak in the seal or the thermostat being stuck open.
DTC No. | CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) | DTC detecting condition | Possible cause |
P0128 | THERMSTAT FNCTN [Coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature)] | The engine coolant temperature does not reach to specified temperature even though the engine has run long enough. |

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Never refuel before and during the following procedure.
1.PRECONDITIONING-1
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.
>> GO TO 2.
2.PRECONDITIONING-2
With CONSULT

2. GO TO 3.
3.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-1
With CONSULT
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at safe speed.
Drive the vehicle under the conditions instructed below until the difference between “COOLANT TEMP/S” and “FUEL T/TMP SE” becomes at least 26°C (47°F).
Drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (32 MPH) or more with the difference between “COOLANT TEMP/S” and “FUEL T/TMP SE” maintained at 26°C (47°F) or more.
NOTE:
Keep the accelerator pedal as steady as possible during cruising.
Drive the vehicle at 50 km/h (32 MPH) or more until “COOLANT TEMP/S” increases by 6°C (11°F).
NOTE:
Keep the accelerator pedal as steady as possible during cruising.
Is the condition satisfied? YES >> GO TO 4.
NO >> GO TO 1.
4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-2
With CONSULT
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at safe speed.
Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-208, "Diagnosis Procedure".
NO >> INSPECTION END
Diagnosis Procedure

Brake precautions
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the
vehicle by depressing the brake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the brake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle and stopping distance
will be longer.
