P0117 and then some..(coolant sensor or more?)

Post by chevmat08 »

:!: So my coolant sensor has started misbehaving, or so I am lead to believe from my google-fu. Just wanted some advice!

yesterday I noticed my engine temp needle wasn't moving and after I restarted the car (15min journey) I get a check-engine light with the p0117 (coolant temp sensor low input iirc). Now I am getting a flashing coil light with the EML, and when engine is warm the sensor reads around 50-55°c but I'm fairly certain it's at-temp by this point.(will be checking when I get home)

Car drives otherwise fine, I am assuming it's the sensor but any advice would be fantastic. Also, just now it flashed the low oil light very briefly(but hasn't come back, fluke?).

RESOLVED

Had the sensor changed, seems to be the cause as it's all tickety boo now!
