Coolant temperature sensor

Coolant-temperature codes describe the sensor circuit, not only a hot engine.

P0117 is a low input and P0115 is a circuit fault. P0128 is the warm-up monitor and often points at the thermostat rather than the sensor.

A wrong temperature signal changes fueling and fan control. Confirm which code is stored, then follow that DTC page.

A trouble code marks a condition to test. It does not by itself prove which part to replace.
