Code?

jeremyt · 03-21-2010, 07:33 PM

I took the car to a local parts store and had them scan the car. I went inside with the guy and he told me it said ( coolant temp below thermostat temp.) I asked what the actual number was and he couldnt remember so we went out to the car and apparently he cleared it because it would come back on.

So can anyone help me or will i have to wait to get the actual number?

By what it said im thinking either of the coolant temp sensors, or maybe the thermostat?

Any help would be awsome.

Did you experience any temp related issues? not warming up, overheating etc?

The car looked like it wasnt heating up all the way. The needle was off the cold but it was only about half way between the middle and the cold...

Sounds like you have a thermostat issue. Common issue and relativley easy repair. Chas
