Código de avería P0128 – This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to OBD-II equipped vehicles. Brands of vehicles that may see this code include but are not limited to Pontiac, Toyota, Mazda, Dodge, Chevrolet, Honda, Jeep, Ford, VW, etc. Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. This means that the engine’s powertrain control module (PCM) has detected that the engine has not reached the required temperature level within a specified amount of time after starting the engine.

When the engine is warm, the cooling system is pressurized and very hot and can cause burns or other personal injuries if you are not careful. Past experience indicates that the most likely solution for a P0128 is to replace the thermostat. However here are some suggestions on troubleshooting and repairing a P0128 OBD-II code: Verify coolant strength & level Verify proper cooling fan operation (check if it’s running more than it should). Replace if necessary. Verify proper engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor operation, replace if necessary. Verify proper intake air temperature (IAT) sensor operation, replace if necessary. If the above items check out good, replace the thermostat If Nissan vehicle, check for Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs), as the ECM may need to be reprogrammed to correct the P0128 code Regardless of what vehicle year, make and model, it is advisable to check for TSBs because if there is a known fix set out by the automaker, it can save you time and money in the diagnosis and repair. An example of the importance of checking for TSBs or technical service bulletins, is if you have a Honda Accord, bulletin #01-164 may apply to you. TSBs are also called manufacturer communications. Other ECT engine coolant sensor and circuit related DTCs include but are not limited to: P0115, P0116, P0117, P0118, P0119, P011A, P011B, P0125, and P0126.
