- - Question on Coolant Temperature and Oil Pressure Sensor Replacement (http://forums.pelicanparts.com/mini-discussion-forum/956084-question-coolant-temperature-oil-pressure-sensor-replacement.html)

I recently changed my thermostat housing, water pipe, and water pump. Car is running great but I'm not getting any input from the temp sensor in the hidden menu. Fan runs after the car is shut off for about 5-10 minutes. I had a CEL after the work was completed so I went and had it cleared, after the codes were clear it all was back to normal, but after about 5 minutes of driving the temp signal disappeared from the hidden menu again. Thoughts?

Not sure, i don;t use the hidden menus. Best bet, use a scan tool, is the engine temp displayed? If so, ignore hidden menu.

Yes, are there any symptoms besides the hidden menu or any codes present in the system? Make sure you have everything plugged in correctly in the right location.
