DTC P0118 - ECT SENSOR CIRCUIT HIGH VOLTAGE Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight X

Note. For circuit reference, see DTC P0117 schematic.

Circuit Description

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is a thermistor that varies resistance based on temperature. As temperature of sensor increases, resistance decreases. Low temperature will result in a high signal voltage. DTC will set when PCM sees an excessively high ECT sensor voltage signal.
