Trouble Code: P1258 (4.6L V8 VIN 9 Auto)
Engine Metal Over-Temperature Protection
Number of Trips to Set Code: 1
OBD II Monitor Type: CCM Details
Indicators: MIL Details
Trouble Code Conditions:
DTC P0117, P0118 and P0125 not set, Engine started; and the PCM detected the ECT sensor indicated more than 270ºF for 10 seconds. The PCM uses the ECT sensor to detect if the engine is running too hot (when the ECT sensor is over 268ºF). If the engine is overheated, DTC P1258 will set. The PCM will disable 2 groups of four cylinders by turning off the fuel injectors. By switching between the two groups of cylinders, the PCM is able to reduce the temperature of the coolant and lower the temperature.
Possible Causes:
Will code p1258 make car not start
P0741....Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance or Stuck Off
P1258 Engine Coolant Overtemperature - Protection Mode Active
the first code is a generic code the latter code is a GM code and if this is correct the engine shut down because it was overheating for whatever reason or the sensor is faulty
