2010 Cadillac Truck SRX AWD V6-3.0L Page 1137
* DTC P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118 or P2610 is not set.
* The engine run time of the previous ignition cycle was greater than 10 min.
* The calculated engine cool down of the previous test was greater than 50掳C (120掳F).
* The ignition was OFF for greater than 330 min after the previous engine shut down.
* The accumulated air mass of the previous ignition cycle was greater than 6,000 grams.
* The DTC runs once an ignition cycle when the above conditions are met for greater than 35 s.
Condition 2
* Before the ECM can report DTC P0116 failed, DTC P0101 must run and pass.
* DTCs P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118 are not set.
* The ECT at the previous engine shut down is warmer than 82掳C (180掳F).
* The block heater is not detected.
* The ignition was OFF for greater than 330 min after the previous engine shut down.
* DTC runs once an ignition cycle when the above conditions are met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
* The ECM determines the difference between the ECT and IAT at ignition ON is not within 14掳C (25掳F) of the difference recorded during a
previous ignition cycle, when the enable conditions were met.
OR
* The ECM determines the IAT at ignition ON is within a calibrated range of the ECT and IAT recorded during a previous ignition cycle, but
the ECT is not within 14掳C (25掳F) of the calibrated range.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTC P0116 is a Type A/B DTC.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0116 is a Type A/B DTC.
Diagnostic Aids
* Test the ECT and the IAT sensor at various temperature levels in order to evaluate the possibility of a skewed sensor. A skewed sensor can
result in a DTC or a driveability condition. Refer to Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Specifications/Temperature Versus Resistance - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor) and
Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control
Systems/Specifications/Temperature Versus Resistance - Intake Air Temperature Sensor).
* If the vehicle has sat overnight, the IAT sensor and the ECT sensor values should display within 3掳C (5掳F).
* After starting a cold engine, the ECT sensor temperature should rise steadily, then stabilize after the thermostat opens.
* High resistance in the circuits of either the ECT or IAT sensor could set a DTC.
* A short to ground or voltage through a conductive material or fluid could set this DTC. Inspect the ECT sensor for evidence of engine
coolant leaking into the connector body.
