Labor: 1.0

To diagnose the P0125 2005 Toyota Highlander code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

When is the Code Detected?

The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the ECT signal voltage after engine start-up. If, after sufficient time has passed, the sensor still reports that the engine is not warm enough for closed-loop fuel control, the ECM interprets this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system and sets a Detected Trouble Code (DTC).
Example:
The ECT is 0C (32F) at engine start. After 5 minutes running time, the ECT sensor still indicates that the engine is not warm enough to begin active feedback control of the air-fuel ratio. The ECM interprets this as a fault in the sensor or cooling system and sets a DTC.

What are Code Possible Symptoms?

  • Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Code P0125 2005 Toyota Highlander Description

The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the engine coolant. The resistance of the sensor varies with the actual coolant temperature. The Engine Control Module (ECM) applies a voltage to the sensor and the varying resistance of the sensor causes the signal voltage to vary.
