P0125 Coolant Temperature Rationality

Wed, 30 Dec 2015 23:29:01 +0000

DTC P0125: COOLANT TEMP RATIONALITY

Monitor & Set Conditions

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor voltage is monitored when the engine is running, engine coolant temperature is -40 to 150°F (-40 to 65°C) and no Intake Air Temperature (IAT), ECT or battery temperature DTCs are set. ECT sensor voltage is also monitored when the engine is off with ignition on. Intake Air Temperature (IAT) must be less than 80°F (26°C), battery voltage must be 8-16 volts and no IAT, ECT or battery temperature DTCs are set. When the engine is running, DTC will set if coolant temperature reading does not change greater than 6°F within 10 minutes of starting the engine. With the engine off and ignition on, DTC will set if coolant temperature reading is greater than 140°F (60°C).

Possible Causes

If terminals are miswired, corroded, pushed out or damaged, repair as necessary.

2. This test procedure will be invalid if the thermostat is stuck open. Turn ignition on. Measure engine temperature near ECT sensor using an external temperature measuring device. Ensure engine temperature is less than 124°F (50°C). Using DRBIII(R) scan tool, monitor ECT sensor reading. If both temperature readings are within 10 percent of each other, go to next step. If both temperature readings are not within 10 percent of each other, replace the ECT sensor. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article.

3. Continue monitoring engine temperature near ECT sensor using an external temperature measuring device and using a scan tool, continue monitoring ECT sensor reading. Start engine and allow it to reach a temperature greater than 180°F (82°C). If both temperature readings are within 10 percent of each other, replace and program the ECM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If both temperature readings are not within 10 percent of each other, replace the ECT sensor. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If engine temperature does not reach 180°F (82° C), diagnose cooling system malfunction.

Mopar1973man.com Tip

Probe the map sensor output wire, pin c of the sensor, using a multimeter at Idle state. The Sensor should be outputting near 4.5v. anything more than .25 less than that means your map sensor is reading boost at idle. If it reads .5v at idle then you will trip a code p0237, but if it reads ~4v-1v at idle then you will get this p0234 code.

effectively means the map sensor is stuck reading a single psi reading and not functioning.

9. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 2 (Gray/Red wire) on MAP sensor harness connector. If resistance is 1000 ohms or greater, replace and program the ECM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in Gray/Red wire between ECM and MAP sensor.

P0237 MAP Sensor Voltage Too Low

Fri, 01 Jan 2016 01:56:54 +0000

DTC P0237: MAP SENSOR VOLTAGE TOO LOW

Monitor & Set Conditions

Manifold Air Pressure (MAP) sensor voltage is monitored when engine is running. DTC may be stored if Engine Control Module (ECM) senses low MAP sensor signal voltage.

Possible Causes

Other DTCs
Boost Pressure Sensor
5-volt Supply Circuit
MAP Signal Circuit Short To Ground
MAP Signal Circuit Short To Sensor Ground
MAP Sensor
Intermittent Wiring Problem
ECM

Testing

1. Turn ignition on with engine off. Using DRBIII(R) scan tool, check for engine DTCs. If any 5-volt supply circuit DTC(s) exist, perform appropriate test. See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no 5-volt supply circuit DTC(s) exist, go to next step.

2. Start engine and allow engine to idle. Using scan tool, read MAP sensor voltage. If MAP sensor voltage is .2 volt or greater, go to next step. If MAP sensor voltage is less than .2 volt, go to step 4 .

3. Shut engine off. Turn ignition on with engine off. Using scan tool, read MAP sensor voltage. If MAP sensor voltage is less than 2.35 volts, go to next step. If MAP sensor voltage is 2.35 volts or greater, go to step 9 .

4. Turn ignition off. Perform turbocharger boost pressure test. See TURBOCHARGER under AIR INDUCTION SYSTEMS in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - RAM PICKUP - DIESEL article. If boost pressure test passes, go to next step. If boost pressure test does not pass, repair as necessary.

5. Ensure ignition is off. Disconnect MAP sensor harness connector. MAP sensor is located on driver's side rear corner of cylinder head. Turn ignition on with engine off. Using DVOM, measure voltage at terminal No. 1 (Orange wire) on MAP sensor harness connector. If voltage is 4.7-5.3 volts, go to next step. If voltage is not 4.7-5.3 volts, repair Orange wire between ECM and MAP sensor. ECM is located on driver's side of engine, just in front of fuel transfer pump and contains a 50-pin connector.

6. Turn ignition off. Ensure MAP sensor harness connector is still disconnected. Disconnect ECM harness connector. ECM is located on driver's side of engine, just in front of fuel transfer pump and contains a 50-pin connector. Using DVOM, measure resistance between ground and terminal No. 2 (Gray/Red wire) on MAP sensor harness connector. If resistance is 1000 ohms or greater, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, repair short to ground in Gray/Red wire between MAP sensor and ECM.

7. Using DVOM, measure resistance between terminal No. 3 (Black/Light Blue wire) and terminal No. 2 (Gray/Red wire) on MAP sensor harness connector. If resistance is 1000 ohms or greater, go to next step. If resistance is less than 1000 ohms, repair short between Black/Light Blue wire and Gray/Red wire.

8. Turn ignition off. Reconnect ECM harness connector. Using scan tool, read MAP sensor voltage. If MAP sensor voltage is greater than 4.5 volts, replace and program the ECM. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If MAP sensor voltage is 4.5 volts or less, replace MAP sensor. See appropriate REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article.

9. Turn ignition off. Visually inspect related wiring harness. and connectors between MAP sensor and ECM. Look for any chafed, pierced, pinched or partially broken wires. Visually inspect MAP sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector for broken, bent, pushed out or corroded terminals. Check for any Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) that may apply. Perform a wiggle test on the related wiring harnesses with the ignition on, engine not running. Repair as necessary. If no problem is found, test is complete.
