Mastera code never identifies a bad part, just a failed system.
i am assuming that it is a 128 code which talks abouttemp of the motor. more than likely, it is a failed thermostat. i would look at this before a coolant sensor.by the way, it is located by the thermostat housing and has a 2 wire connector.
thanks for using repairpal.

I may take it back and get the thermostat. its a high dollar thermostat wow.. thanks for you help, this site is so cool, you have been a big help.
