Engine coolant temperature sensor 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee voltage too high what does that mean p0118?

Low coolant or bad sensor


Why would a message Coolant Sensor Bad still flash on the panel of a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee after replacing the coolant level sensor?

There is one in the reservoir and one in the coolant tank. They probably replaced the one in the reservoir. My 96 is doing the same thing and the dealership replaced the one in the reservoir but the message is still coming up. I found out on another forum that it is the one in the tank that needs replaced. So I would check that out. Hope this helps. if its not the sensor,its the sensor plug.if that doesn't help it is the connection to the computer on the firewall.its in back of the coolant reservoir.ive never heard of the tank thing,no such thing also if there is air in your system, (air will enter from leaks in your system) when the air passes the sensor it throws out bad coolant sensor code, due to the rapid temp. change from that air bubble, if there is air in the system and not pumped out it can cause a blown head gasket, very expensive replacement


Is a water temp sensor the same thing as a coolant temp sensor?

Locate and remove old coolant temperature sensor (disconnect electric connector and you should be able to loosen sensor with an open end wrench; if it's too tight, use a flared end wrench to break it loose). Catch coolant that spills out after sensor is removed, properly dispose of old coolant. Install new sensor in reverse order. Top off coolant. Clear trouble code & test drive vehicle to ensure vehicle performs to spec.

The guage on the dash uses the ONE wire sensor... This is located in the block near the drivers side. Eric First check to see if you have coolant in the radiator. If there is no coolant you will not get any reading from the temperature sensor. If there is coolant then change the temperature sensor.

Drain off about 2 qts of coolant from radiator petcock after engine has cooled. Unplug wire harness from sensor. Remove sensor with a counterclockwise motion. Coat new sensor with a thread sealant and install until snug. Reconnect harness and refill coolant reservoir. Recheck coolant level after useage.
