As the of the coolant changes temperature, the resistance of the sensor changes too. When the engine is cold, the resistance becomes high but when the engine is warm, the resistance gets low. If the PCM finds a signal voltage lower than the normal working range of the sensor then P0117 code is triggered. SYMPTOMS Potential symptoms include: MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) illumination Poor fuel economy Poor drivability Engine may run rough or blow black smoke from the tail exhaust pipe, May not idle, May start and then die CAUSES.
