Code P0116?

Hi,

Yes, the code is related to the thermostat. Basically, the engine isn't warming up in a given amount of time. In most cases, this is the result of a thermostat sticking open delaying the amount of time for the engine to warm up. As a result, it produces higher emissions.

In most cases, the thermostat needs to be replaced. Here is a link that explains in general how one is replaced:

Let me know if this helps.

Take care,

Joe
