Default Replaced coolant temp. sensor, car is still throwing same code: 16502 P0118 Engine Coolant Temp...
16502 P0118 Engine Coolant Temp.Circ High Input.

Any idea what's wrong? Initially the CEL was still on after I replaced the sensor, it was gone the next day, and now it's back after a few weeks.

What's up?

Default No, but the CEL went away, so I figured it cleared itself.
Now it's back.

As far as I know, the code won't clear on it's own. I would clear codes then see if it comes back.

Light will go out but code will stay until cleared.
