DTC P0128 COOLANT THERMOSTAT (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE BELOW THERMOSTAT REGULATING TEMPERATURE)
DTC detecting condition:
Detected when two consecutive driving cycles with fault occur.
Trouble symptom:
• Thermostat remains open.
• Coolant temperature rises slowly.
CAUTION:
After servicing or replacing faulty parts, perform Clear Memory Mode Clear Memory Mode > OPERATION">, and Inspection Mode Inspection Mode > PROCEDURE">

STEP | CHECK | YES | NO |
1.CHECK FOR ANY OTHER DTC ON DISPLAY.
Is any other DTC displayed?
Check the appropriate DTC using the “List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)”. List of Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)">
Diagnostic Procedure with Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) > DTC P0128 COOLANT THERMOSTAT (ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE BELOW THERMOSTAT REGULATING TEMPERATURE)">Go to Step 2.
2.CHECK ENGINE COOLANT.
Is the check result OK?

Refill the engine coolant. Engine Coolant">
3.CHECK RADIATOR FAN.
1) Start the engine.
2) While keeping idling for approx. 3 minutes (with accelerator OFF), check the operation of the radiator fan.
Does the radiator fan continuously rotate for 3 minutes or more during idling?
Repair radiator fan circuit. Radiator Main Fan and Fan Motor"> and Radiator Sub Fan and Fan Motor">

1. OUTLINE OF DIAGNOSIS
Detect malfunctions of the thermostat function.
Judge as NG when any one of the following conditions is established.
• When the actual engine coolant temperature does not reach the maximum temperature necessary to perform other OBDII diagnosis and Σ (Estimated engine coolant temperature − actual engine coolant temperature) exceeded the predetermined value. (Judgment 1)
• When the actual engine coolant temperature does not reach the range within −11°C (−19.8°F) from the regulated temperature and Σ (Estimated engine coolant temperature − actual engine coolant temperature) exceeded the predetermined value. (Judgment 2)
• When the difference between the estimated coolant temperature and the actual engine coolant temperature exceeds the predetermined value, and Σ (Estimated engine coolant temperature − actual engine coolant temperature) exceeded the predetermined value. (Judgment 3)
