code P0117

ooh thanks Z! I guess I'll replace the sensor and see if it still overheats...
has anyone ever replaced this part before?

Lisa, if it isn't the plug it is a very easy fix. IIRC the sensor was around $40 from the dealer. I did have to buy a 19mm locking flex combination ratcheting wrench for the install of the sensor though.

I tried. It is very easy though. Just unbolt the intake from that section, unplug the harness and remove sensor. I bought the wrench as it is a very tight space.

can I call you Jeff to help me though the process? lol..

If you need to. hahahaha

[iLisa]

do I need to drain the fluids first?

do I need to drain the fluids first?

Not if you are only changing the sensor.

THANKS for the helpful texts last night Jeff...
I replaced the sensor, cleared the code and drove it around a bit.. the temp gauge seems to stay in the middle (like it should).. I hope it worked!

You are welcome.
