Didjeridave Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm getting a code 6 & need a new temp sensor (ecu sensor, the gauge works fine). There seem to be two types, PJ7 & PK2, which is the correct one for our Ms?Ta! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 check wiring earths ect first, dont fail very often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didjeridave Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Managed to get at this today & the sensor was measured at 5kOhms with a cold engine. No mention of the correct value in the manual, only the gauge sensor. I guess it'd test as an open circuit if it had failed, so looks like it's hours of wire testing Unless there's any other ideas from anyone?

civicturbo79 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I would just get a new one and fit it and go from there. Rich. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didjeridave Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 aye, looks like a date one evening with the multitester is on the cards. Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didjeridave Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Had a look, the ground wire to chassis is fine & the wire to the ecu has 5V potential. The sensor tested fine again, nearer 4k this time but it was a warmer evening. Ecu has been reset twice & it still returns after a few minutes. Damn annoying! Any ideas before I chuck a new sensor at it?Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
