I was fixing a small coolant leak and got everything buttoned up just now. I know the code is engine coolant temperature low curcuit input. Made sure that I connected it tight, and yeah. It clicked and is locked in place. The coolant temp gauge is working, it's not in a stuck position.

Any ideas?

 

Reset code ? Otherwise it may reset itself after a few cycles . As long as it it reading

 

Thanks. I'll reset it and go from there. Then this started leaking

Only thing I can think, is the clamp is not on correctly. Or not tightening fully.
And this is hose is new. Replaced it July 2017.

And this is hose is new. Replaced it July 2017. Oh, happy New year guys!

 

Corrosion under the hose or the hose too big to clamp as the hardware only has a fixed " pinch bite " ?

 

I had to switch to screw clamps a couple of times on my older cars, maybe tired spring clamps.

 

+1 on the screw clamps. I would also flood WD40 or similar to the sensor and it's loom connector to chase out oxidization. Then do an OBD reset.

 

Perfect guys, I'll do that! It'll have to wait though. Currently 25 degrees Fahrenheit in Dallas

 

My kitty has icicles hanging from her . Will be - 8 F overnight .

 

I'm thinking this is it. I was hoping letting it since Sunday would've helped the clamp get a tighter bite. But no luck. It still leaks. Dumb question quys. Should only use a srcew clamp on the side that is leaking? Or do both?

 

Doesn't mater as long as not too tight on plastic

 

I'd be sure to run a wire brush and/or some sand paper around the neck to clean it up. As LP said regarding the possible corrosion. Be sure to also check the inside of the hose in case the neck has a burr on it and possibly scarred it.

 

I will do. Lets see if I feel compelled to take it apart again in the 23 degree weather. It's easy, but I hate the cold.

 

Switched them to screw clamps, and made sure not to over tighten. Let it warm up in the drive way, took it to the car wash to give it a quick rinse. Didn't see any leaks! I'll keep an eye on it though. Hopefully I have time this weekend to give the car a good detail.

 

I did that with some electrical contact cleaner. Reset the light, went for a drive. No more light! Thanks everyone
