[QUOTE="Duster, post: 454475, member: 20812"] I think the chief thing to consider is whether the system is throwing a code. If it is, then likely the glitch is between the sensor and ECM. If it isn't, then it's likely the gauge in the dash or cabin that is the problem. If the sensor were reporting an overheated state, you should expect to see the check-engine light coming on, and EBD II codes thrown. But the dashboard gauge itself is there simply for you, the driver, to monitor engine temperature. If the sensor were really reporting and overheated state you should see a P0217 code being thrown. Also, just for clarity, what kind of temperature gauge do you have in the cabin? If it is reading in degrees, is it a replacement for the original dash gauge? [/QUOTE]
