A week ago I got the cel. I went and got the codes and then cleared them. The problem I was having was on a cold start the engine wouldn't start up above a thousand rpms and idle a bit before warming up. Well after clearing the codes that problem went away. But now when I turn on the car, SOMETIMES the radiator fans come on. Today it happened and i put on the econ and it stopped. But I tried that later and the fans still went. Does anyone have any ideas what it might be?

 

What are the codes?

 

P3081

 

Coolant temperature sensor, replace it is like 20 dollars.

 

Thank you sir I'll let you know how it goes after I replace it later today hopefully.

 

if u fix the coolant sensor and it continues odds are its a crack in ur ecu housing.

 

Well I fixed it Monday and its been fine since so hopefully everything will stay this way. Thanks guys

 

Hi!
What do you mean by a crack in ur ecu housing?
In fact, I replaced twice the coolant temp sensor, tested it (fine) and after a few minutes the engine light shows up....

Thanks

 

Mr. Hijack the thread , what fault codes do you have?

 

I've "17704 - Error in Mapped Cooling System (check Temp-Sensor and Thermostat)
P1296 - 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent".

Thanks

Sorry for the hijacking... )
