Title: A couple of questions
Post by: Jamie Read on October 24, 2011, 04:10:07 PM
I`m getting a warning on the display that says "coolant temp sensor bad" - do I need to replace it? Can I get one from the local motor factors? And probably most imporantly..... where is it on the motor?? :017:

Next- I`m getting a rattling from underneath, sounds sort of exhaust related, I think I`ve located it to the catalytic converter, as when i tap the cat something bounces inside.... is the cat goosed?

Since discovered that the "coolant temp sensor bad" message could be due to a broken solder on the display.
The message seems to come and go.

Oh, and I should add that its going for is test tomorrow!
