I started up my truck today, it's in a dead-cold been-parked state.

 

I got a check engine light, the check gauges warning text light came on and immediately my temperature gauge pegged.  The engine is cold!

 

I check codes with the key turn method I get:  P1693 followed by P0118.  I pull more codes with my ODB2 reader and get P0118  & P0116

 

I tested the temperature sensor for ohms.  

 

Room temp, about 70 degrees, I get 8.6k ohms

Cold water from the fridge I get 19.3k 

Boiling water I get 700 ohms

 

It's doing something but not sure if it's doing that something right or not.

 

I tested the connector with the key on and I get a nice 5v reading

I checked the blue ground wire at the connector for ground at the block and get zero ohms.

 

The pins are good in the sensor and the connectors are clean at the harness connector.

 

Any suggestions would be welcome.

I hear what your saying, but the question still remains as to why this app wants to access your phone call logs to read OBDII data, or know your location. I can see accessing your file storage system so it can store it's own files, but the rest is BS. And by getting used to agreeing to all these apps wanting to know our business we are being programmed more and more every day to give up more and more of our right to privacy. IMO

Very true.

I gave up on being paranoid... Few reasons first off there is enough manpower to track everyone. Then if the tracking is so good then why can't they track down criminals? I've got all my address and phone numbers out on the internet. Still to this day everyone still asks me for my mailing address or my phone number when it's on every single page here.  Go ahead and track me...

 

Funny part by the time I get home the cellphone is nothing more than electronic brick. No cell phone signal, canyon walls screw with the GPS and not accurate even my GPS in the truck is goofy here. WiFi location reports me way off the mark. Even attempting to track my IP shows weird locations. Heck MoparMom and I both use the Life360 app to track each other. She can send me a message saying hey your need X store can you pick up Y.

 

Also very true.

That part is designed by the Linux structure if you an Android user. iPhone is a similar structure. Here with my Linux PC and Android Phone, you have to give permission to access particular information or modify data. For example, I want to change a configure file on my PC I have to provide a ROOT password to allow the system to alter that file. The same thing is true for Android but it assumed the user is the ROOT user and you already unlocked the phone so it left to a yes or no question. Being that on a cell phone the amount of RAM and storage is very limited most functions are stack up so yes you might be giving up call information so you can actually have one function the program requires. PC is a bit more granular permissions because of larger storage and more RAM to work with. 

 

The only thing I can say is find another app that asks less of the phone for permissions but you'll end up finding out the software is extremely limited and functions are missing.

Someday everyone will have to decide for themselves where to draw the line, you either will be part of it or not and it will be very difficult to go through life for those that will choose not to be part of it. Hard to explain but it's already happening slowly. Those that know what I'm talking about, know what I'm talking about.

It seems every one of the apps I am having to deal with wants all of that access to my tablet. It belongs to the company and they just tell me to do it. But I have found that you can refusemall that crap and most of them still work. I personally don't like it but sometimes you have to pay to play. I also dont keep any personal info on this tablet. Not even sure I like the damn thing for that reason. It seems it is the wave of the future. Sure am glad I am retiring in a couple years. And I still think cash is a better alternative to using a card, unless you are buying parts on line.
