P0119 Cadillac Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Intermittent
Possible causes
- Low
engine coolant level
- Faulty Engine Coolant Temperature (
ECT) sensor
- Faulty engine coolant
thermostat
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor electrical
circuit poor connection
What about the obd code?
The Engine Control Module (
ECM) detected an erratic signal from the engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor during the system monitor test
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P0119 Cadillac Description
The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
