    Pull your temp sensor and inspect it. If it's a brass sender, it's not uncommon for them to corrode or eventually stop working.


    Does your gauge move at all?

    before, my sensor broke but it wasn't throwing any code. I didn't unplug to see if it was my gauge since it was visible.

    Check and see if the wire came off the single wire sensor on the side of the head, it wont throw a cel, simply because its just for the gauge, the ect is still working.
