Good morning everyone,
Subject is a 2006 Accord EX-L, 2.4l engine & 5 speed manual. It has 30k miles and was bought used last August with 22k at the time.
The car has a CEL, code P2183 - engine coolant temp sensor 2CKT range/perf, and pending code P0128 - coolant temp below thermostat regulating temp. Not sure if it matters, but the freeze data on the scanner shows the coolant temp being the same as the intake air temp.
The car warms up normally, the heat works fine, etc. No obvious cooling system problems. ie, it is not behaving the way my Saab does when the thermostat [censored] out and it really is running cold.
Some online research points to a coolant temperature sensor being bad. I believe I located this item on the lower passenger side of the radiator.
Any thoughts? Thanks,
jeff
