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
Is the condition satisfied? YES >> GO TO 3.
NO >> 1. Satisfy the condition.
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
1.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Check the engine coolant temperature sensor. Refer to EC-208, "Component Inspection".

2.CHECK THERMOSTAT
Check the thermostat. Refer to CO-21, "Removal and Installation of Thermostat".
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace thermostat.
Component Inspection
1.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END
NO >> Replace engine coolant temperature sensor. Refer to CO-24, "Exploded View".

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) off switch
The vehicle should be driven with the Vehicle
Dynamic Control (VDC) system on for most driving
conditions.
If the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the VDC
system reduces the engine output to reduce
wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced
even if the accelerator is depressed to the f ...
