location of engine coolant sensor for display
First of all - sorry for my English, it is not my native tongue, so I would be very grateful if you won't mock me about grammar and spelling. Thank you in advance about that!
So, I have searched all over this and other forums, but still haven't found answer and solution to my problem. I have Volvo V40 1998 T4 and the problem is, that I can't see correct engine coolant and oil temperature. Engine coolant temperature is 68 (celsius) and oil temperature all the time is displayed as "cold". What have I done so far. I replaced engine coolant sensor and thermostat, however nothing changed in dashboard. The sensor is working and via Elm327/Torque I can see correct temperature (city traffic 85-90; highway +/-80). Friend of mine told me, that there must be another sensor, exclusively for dashboard. Nevertheless, I can't find it and it is driving me mad.. so maybe there isn't another sensor and problem is somewhere else? So, I would be extremely grateful if someone could shed some light on this issue. |

However, do you have something to say about mentioned above technical problem? |
Yeah, Allāhu Akbar, starting threads like that will bring the crap

Whats more likely is that there is damage to the wiring loom, such as a short circuit or broken wire, which makes the display and the ECU unaware of the exact temperature This is a real hazard as the cooling fans are also controlled by this sensor and will not protect you if the engine starts overheating Have a look at the wiring loom under the radiator - a lot of important signals pass through there and it is known to be a weak point in the system as the dampness can cause wires to split and rust [EDIT] - As Cheshired5 points out below, I've missed a vital point, and as such this post is nonsense !!!! Ignore it. |
It sounds like ECU is aware though because torque can communicate and get a temp reading.
The problem is that the dash doesn't know it. |
