P0118 for Volkswagen - (ECT) Engine Colant Temperature Circuit High

Symptoms:- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes:
(Inspect the following... Repair/Replace if necessary)
- Low engine coolant level
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor harness is open or shorted
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor electrical circuit poor connection
- Faulty Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
- Faulty engine coolant thermostat

P0118 VOLKSWAGEN Description: The Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM). The modified signal returns to the (ECM) as the engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
When is the code detected?:When an excessively high voltage from the sensor is sent to ECM.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you need further assistance.

Code poo31 showing and what would be the possible cause and what part to be replaced?

P0031 Oxagen senser heater circuit. The heater circuit can be checked with a test light connected to ground. ( a tast light is an ice pick looking tool with a clear handle with a 12 volt bulb inside and a ware with a clip to connect to grond, the light will light as the tip is touched to anything powered up with 12 volts and sometimes a little more and a wholde lot less) Find the oxagen sensers ( thier screwed into the exhaust pipes) Disconnect the electrial connectors and connect the test light to ground, with the key on test the wires in the plug connect ed the vehical. one of them should light the light, if it does reconect it and test the rest of the sensers, recalling which wire was live. ( most are white or grey but they vary some. If all the sensers have power it's not the power but the senser failed. with an ohm meter test the senser for the wire that was hot to the other wire that is the same color if the sneser is open ( no circuit ) you have found the bad senser. If you can't find power going to any of the sensers. Check the fuse boxes for blown fuses ( check them all with a test light) If you find a blown fuse replace it but go back to the wiring tjat connects to the sensers and you'll find someplace where the wire melted to the exhaust pipes and shorted out, blowing the fuse. The sensers short out too but not very often.

I own a 1999 Toyota Solara and the check ingine light is on. I have a n ODB code reader and it reads the code #P0135 heated oxygen senser circiut malfunctoin (bank 1, senser 1) I changed the oxygen senser...

Changing the O2 sensor for a P-0135? Use a TOYOTA sensor. The aftermarket/generic sensors do NOT work in Toyotas.

User with the smoking problem: Remove the valve cover & check for engine oil sludge where the cams ride. If it is sludged, a rebuild is necessary, BUT, Toyota DOES have warranty assistance for this issue. All you need are oil change receipts.
