Changed intake manifold temp sensor

Recommended Posts

Ran vagcom on my vr6 auto . It came up with open or short to plus on the intake manifold temp sensor(G72).

I changed it for a new one but then the fan came on permanently! Put the old one back in and the fan goes off.

 

Not sure whether that means the old one isn't working or the new one is and there is a fault on the fan?

 

Anyone here had similar?

Worth checking the manifold temp plug hasn't been swapped with the black fan controller plug on the thermostat housing.

The manifold temp plug comes out of the loom next to the yellow and blue temp sensors.

ok, thanks. Just checked that and the wiring seems as it should be.

 

When I ran vagcom again with the new intake manifold temp sensor, it still showed the same error message with the fan running from the moment the car was started.
