I’ve been trying to get rid of this fault code for years. I have done lots of resistance/voltage tests and I’ve tried like 3 different PCMs

 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I cant help either, but @Dieselfuture hit the nail on the head about your twin. Maybe he can help.

What fault code are you seeing and what are the symptoms?

 

BTW, Dieselfuture is head troll, but I try staying pertinent to the subject between pot stirring  of chicken soup for Dripley

To the OP. Your subject mentions a 118 code. I dont see that code in data base here. Can you enlighten us to what the problem is?

 

And to @JAG1. I did not know pertinent and wood pecker went together.

Oh yes, it's in the title, '0118 code',,,,, maybe for a gas truck

watch yourself boys,  the dirt can turn real mean real quick

 

 

 

OP, 

 

how are you reading this code?

@dripley

i am reading this via cheap Bluetooth scanner at the moment, but I have borrowed expensive scanners from friends and they show the same thing.

Does your dash gauge work for collant?

Yes. I even replaced the sensor for the heck of it

[dripley]

Is the temp reading correctly on the gauge?

I went to O’Rielleys and bought a coolant temp sensor. They had one designated for the pcm. I plumbed it in above the thermostat housing and ran a couple quick wires to the plug that sends that to the pcm.
