Coolant check engine question?
Hi everybody I have a check engine light that would come on as soon as the engine would get to the first bar before "N" in normal. So i replaced the ect sensor and it was a bit better and it read in-between the "N" and "O" and stay but the check engine light didn't go away. Also once every drive it would rise to the middle and then go back down. So then i replaced the ect "sender" and now it reads the temp alot quicker and now settles down at the "M" so past the middle of the guage. But the light is still there lol. So do yall have any ideas as to what it could be possibly? Thanks

Once again, stop replacing parts! I asked before but you didn’t answer the question…was the engine up to operating temperature when you did the test? Since you aren’t sure when the code was output, I suggest you get a code reader like the Innovator 3145. It will display the codes and separate the active from the stored codes. If you never cleared the stored codes after replacing the EGR valve you are chasing a ghost.
EDIT: according to my instruction manual this is when you would get these codes
116 active or running
332 running or stored
You haven’t done the engine running test so you might be trying to fix something that isn’t bad.

So after bringing the engine up to operating temperature, you no longer get Code 116. That is an indication when you ran the tests previously you did not have the engine warmed up before initiating the KOEO tests and Stored Code display. This is covered in the instruction manual starting on Page 25.
