I won't have a chance to double check ALL the fuses for a couple of days.
Yes, the coolant sensor fault is my main focus.
The 01299 fault should probably be looked at too.
Had a couple of faults on the driver's door that didn't show up in the latest scan.
Code 00928 and 00932 I think it was. Could be a bad harness.
Thanks.

The FF Temperature was 33.3°C in that scan above and per the repair manual 30 degree C (86 degree F) equals a resistance of 1500 to 2000 Ω .

If the resistance is questionable I would toss another sensor at it. If not the fuses in addition to the wiring would be next. On that note, did you save the old ECT and inspect it for coolant migration that could have worked up into the wiring?

Checked all fuses - OK.
Checked old sensor, it was dry.
Don't recall seeing coolant in the connector when replacing the sensor.

Maybe the coolant has become a contaminated electrolyte ........causing a current function via induction disrupting the sensor.

Have you tried a temp overlay from ECT to ECU?
