hey i searched around quite a bit and haven't found the answer, could a slight overheat kill the cts?? i'm getting a code 22 after a pinhole leak in a radiator hose. it wasn't even hot enough to smoke or anything. i heard the hissing and turned the car off relatively quickly. but now i have the cel 22...?? chris

i dont know chris...maybe

but i mean, if i had a code 22...id just get a new coolant temp sensor. theyre not expensive at all, and then you wont have to worry about it later. knawmean?

When was the last time it was replaced? It could be just a fluke that happened at the same time. But yeah, ^^^^^, there not much, just get a new one.

yeah, i'll get a new one next week.

Actually think abouthat happened and where the cts is located.If coolant got all over the cts connector and the connector failed....would that be a poss cause of code 22? Check the connector first........

i had this problem about 3 months ago and posted on it, my upper rad hose was dripping down on the sensor and i was getting the check engine light too , went and bought a new sensor didnt fix the problem, tested the old one and come to find out it was still good so now i have 2 anyway to make a long story short i replaced the rad hose and stopped the drip and about a week later the cel went away i guess it dried up??? than my fqing cat died!!! welcome to the world of DSMs and CEL's mine never seems to go away for long.

i feel ya on the "world of dsms" bro, i've been here for a while now and it's always something...always...on the connection, i did try to clean it first with electronic cleaner spray. no dice there either, i'll get a new sensor manana and we'll see what happens...chris
