Re: Just had the P116 code this week on my 99 9-5 SW Posted by CrNiFe [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Check engine light low temp. and P116 code, Pedro Gonzalez, Wed, 7 Dec 2005 11:36:51 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
And it was my thermostat.
I had exactly the same symptoms as yours. I was concerned that it might be a wire to the sensor, but my tech suggested that many times it is the thermostat rather than the sensor.
The sensor apparently is used to compare the outside temperature to the engine temperature as well as provide the input for the temp gauge on the dash.
Unfortunately for me, the change to a new thermostat wasn`t covered under my GMPP warranty. You are looking at a couple of hundred bucks for the part and labour, but make sure they change your coolant if it is due.
