Not low input sensor...P0117 KIA - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 1 Circuit Low Input
Possible causes Low engine coolant level Faulty Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor Faulty engine coolant thermostat Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor harness is open or shorted Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Off to a repair shop to have the car diagnosed
to find the problem,can't guess at it or keep
installing parts until you do some testing & find
one that has failed
electronic coolant fans (radiator) are controlled by a temperature sensor in the cooling system. It in turns energizers a circuit in the ECM that activates a relay to allow power to the fan. To check the system you have to check that the relay is getting power from the ECM, that the sensor is actually operational and that both fuses are ok. Remember that the fan will not operate unless the coolant temperature is nearing the thermostat opening temperature (from 75 degrees F upwards)
i believe your vehicle has a speed sensor as well
as that throttle position sensor. If you did replave
the throttle position sensor, did you make sure
you put the new one back in the exact way you
pulled the old one out? There may be a camshaft
sensor giving you a problem. There are several
sensors that may have something to do with that.
It won't automatically reset. Most parts stores will check / reset the code for free, and if it doesn't reset, they can tell you what kind of code is causing the problem.
Yes, turn on your A/C your fans should come on. Check your fuses, and you can stright wire the fan, take 2 wires unplug it and run your new wires from each post on the battery to the wires at the fan. That will tell you if you have a good fan motor. If you think the fan motor is ok and good you will have to check the wiring to the fan and your water temp switch.
