Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit Range/Performance

33 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to engine cooling or temperature. Overheating can damage the engine.

1What it means in plain English

The engine or powertrain control system has stored a fault that does not have specific guidance in this database yet.

2Common causes

Sensor or actuator fault
Wiring or connector fault
Vacuum or intake leak
Fuel or ignition problem
Control module fault

3Can I drive?

Caution · drive with care

Watch the temperature gauge. Stop safely and let the engine cool if the gauge climbs, steam appears, or a red warning light comes on.
