P0116

Error Description

Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range/Performance Failure Indicates the engine coolant temperature rationality test has failed. The PCM logic that sets this DTC indicates that engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT or CHT) drifted higher than the nominal sensor calibration curve and could prevent one or more OBD II monitors from executing. The PCM runs this logic after an engine off "calibrated soak period (typically 6 hours). This soak period allows the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and engine coolant temperature (CHTor ECT) to stabilize and not differ by more than a calibrated value. DTC P0116 is set when all of the following conditions are met: Engine coolant temperature at engine start exceeds IAT at engine start by more than a calibrated value, typically 30°F (1°C). Engine coolant temperature exceeds a calibrated value, typically 225F (107C). The Fuel, Heated Oxygen Sensor, Catalyst and Misfire monitors have not completed. Calibrated timer to set DTC P0116 has expired.

Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction NOTE: For natural gas applications, the following description applies to the fuel shutoff valve (FSV) circuit. The PCM monitors the fuel pump (FP) circuit output from the PCM. The test fails if: With the FP output commanded ON (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the FP circuit; or with the FP output commanded OFF, voltage is not detected on the FP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the fuel pump relay coil to the FP circuit). Open or shorted fuel pump (FP) circuit Open VPWR circuit to fuel pump relay Damaged fuel pump relay Damaged PCM When the FPF PID reads YES, a fault is currently present. An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the fuel pump commanded OFF. A short to power can only be detected with the fuel pump commanded ON.

The PCM monitors the fuel pump monitor (FPM) circuit. This test fails when the PCM detects voltage on the FPM circuit while the fuel pump is commanded OFF. The FPM circuit is wired to a pull-up voltage inside the PCM. The FPM circuit will go high if, with the key ON and the fuel pump commanded OFF, the FPM/FP PWR circuit loses its path to ground through the fuel pump. The FPM circuit will also go high if the FPM/FP PWR circuit is shorted to power.

P0298

Error Description

Engine Oil Over Temperature Condition Indicates the Engine Oil Temperature Protection strategy in the PCM has been activated. This will temporarily prohibit high engine speed operation by disabling injectors, therefore reducing the risk of engine damage from high engine oil temperature. Note: On engines which are equipped with an oil temperature sensor, the PCM reads oil temperature to determine if it is excessive. When an oil temperature sensor is not present, the PCM uses an oil algorithm to infer actual temperature. Engine shutdown strategy function is the same on vehicles with and without oil temperature sensors. Very high engine rpm for extended period of time. Over-heating condition. Malfunction EOT sensor or circuit (vehicles w/EOT sensor). Base engine concerns. Engine operating in high rpm range, due to improper gear selection.

Ignition system Fuel injectors Running out of fuel EVAP canister purge valve Fuel pressure Evaporative emission system Base engine The MIL will blink once per second when a misfire is detected severe enough to cause catalyst damage. If the MIL is on steady state, due to a misfire, this will indicate the threshold for emissions was exceeded and cause the vehicle to fail an inspection and maintenance tailpipe test.
