Coolant Temperature sensor? wtf

[HoLun]

ok Check engine light came on again, Computer shows 6 flashes, i look at my chart it says Coolant temperature, but the gauge on my dash is in the middle when it happen, could it be a bad sensor? or bad thermalstat?

damn these electronics

it's a bad sensor. replace that and if the temperature goes up change the thermostat, and do a cooling system flush.

replaced one, hoped the light wont come on again...

By the way, is it the sensor on the thermostat housing with only 1 wire? or the other 2 sensor?
