Note. If the DTCs listed below are stored at the same time as DTC P0128, troubleshoot those DTCs first, then recheck for P0128. Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

P0107, P0108, P1128, P1129: Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor

P1106, P1107, P1108 (P2227, P2228, P2229)*: Barometric pressure (BARO) sensor

P1259: VTEC system

P0116, P0117, P0118 (P0125)*: Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor

P0112, P0113: Intake air temperature (IAT) sensor

P0335, P0336: Crankshaft position (CKP) sensor

P0300: Random misfire detected

P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 or No. 4 Cylinder misfire detected

P0505 (P0506, P0507)*: Idle control system

P1519 (P0511)*: Idle air control (IAC) valve

*: 2004-2005 models

DTC P0128 can occasionally set when the hood is opened while the engine is running.

Check the engine coolant level. Is the engine coolant level low? YES - Refill the engine coolant. If necessary, repair the coolant leakage. NO - Go to step 2.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II), and make sure the A/C is off.
Check the radiator fan. Does the radiator fan keep running? YES - Check the radiator fan circuit (see «RADIATOR FAN CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING»(ref-221327-S08828776502006022400000) ), radiator fan switch circuit for open (see «RADIATOR FAN SWITCH CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING (OPEN)»(ref-221327-S25635651462006022400000) ), radiator fan switch circuit for short (see «RADIATOR FAN SWITCH CIRCUIT TROUBLESHOOTING (OPEN)»(ref-221327-S25635651462006022400000) ) and the radiator fan switch (see «RADIATOR FAN SWITCH TEST»(ref-221327-S40690856972006022400000) ). If they are OK, substitute a known-good ECM (see «HOW TO SUBSTITUTE THE ECM FOR TESTING PURPOSES»(ref-221328-S04997151962006022400000) ) and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original ECM (see «ECM REPLACEMENT»(ref-221329-S30667517252006022400000) ). NO - Replace the thermostat (see «THERMOSTAT REPLACEMENT»(ref-221326-S16425990782006022400000) ).
