I swapped my original engine with an engine out of a 2005 Dodge Durango. Everything was basically plug and play. When i fired up the new engine my temp gauge maxed out for just a second and then went down to normalnormal. Ever since i have had a check engine light on, and when i put on a reader the code P0118 comes up. It will not reset...do i need to replace it or is it because of the new engine? Also i have the little red lightning bolt (electrical) light that stays on in the bottom right corner of my gauges. What could this mean and how do i reset or erase this?
Hi there,
This code indicates an issue with the engine coolant temp sensor. Here is a list of possible causes.
