[Guest pistolpete]

hello,

P0483 PRESENCE OF COOLING FUNCTION INCORPORATED INTO

ENGINE MANAGEMENT ECU OPEN CIRCUIT OR TEMPERATURE

TOO HIGH

could anyone tell me is there a seperate temp sensor for the ecu and the dash temp gauge ? also if there is where is it located ?

google search on P0480 code appears to be something with cooling fan not working. So is the engine fan working when the car warms up ?

to be honest with you i havent noticed but its not been over heating etc , just when your driving you really have to rev it my yeards on a bit of a slope and you need to get a run up to get up it :(
