I have had my 2004 Coupe for about 10 months without any problems. It had 13000 mi. when I bought it and it has 15075 mi. on it today. Since it is a 6sp manual transmission I installed the CAGS Skip Shift kit today. I disconnected the battery per the instructions. Installation was simple with no problems until I took car for short test drive to check 1 to 4 shift function. After short time I noticed the coolant temp gauge was pegged and the DIC readout was "COOLANT TEMP xxx F". I stopped car and could see no indication of coolant loss or engine overheat. I suspected a gauge problem. After letting car sit with motor off for a few minutes the temp gauge reads normal and the DIC reads 195-205 degree range. But soon after starting engine the temp would go to maxx on both gauges.
The only "C" code I have is a P0116 C. There are several other H codes which decode to Defogger Relay, Rh and Lh DRL, Backup Lamp, Loss of Comm. with BCM, etc. I have not cleared the codes, this is first time I have pulled codes on this car.
I can't find the P0116 code in my list but other searchs seem to indicate a coolant sensor problem. Does any one have more info on this code? Did I ruin a sensor?
Did disconnecting the battery create this situation? Did I not get the cable back on battery properly and tight enough? I only disconnected the neg/black cable. I can't see how installing the CAGS Skip Shift kit could cause this and I have not removed it yet. Should I put the 1 to 4 shift back to normal?
Any ideas???
