P2185 engine temp sensor 2
Hi
I've got a 2008 2.2 diesel model
I've had this code come up. The diagostic machine is showing a temp of 149 degrees Celcius all the time so the fans stay on permanently. I disconnected the sensor and it still shows at this temp. The wires and connector isn't corroded. Getting live to it also. Please help!!

Re: P2185 engine temp sensor 2
Which coolant temp sensor did you disconnect?
Over here (N.A.) I would be checking the temp sensor in the bottom of the radiator, not the one on the engine
When I disconnect a temp sensor, I expect to the engine computer show a value of -40*

Hi, I disconnected engine block and it went to -40 then I disconnected the sensor 2 in the radiator and that didn't drop at all. Stayed at 149*
