Why does my engine light come on after replacing temperature sensor? Replaced the sensor because my temp guage kept going up & down, worked fine for a couple days then engine light came on

Do you
have the same problem?

Look it pal there is a bunch of things that can be wrong I can't check shorted wires or resistance in sensors to see if they are good or not. If the sensor was from china hard telling whether it worked or not. You rgauges aren't working right per YOU as your dash is digitally operated it can be a bad dash that is why I sen tyou to a pro I cna't do that over the computer. We give the best advice we can
