My coolant heat sensor on my car listed above (RS) has been overheating regularly for a while now I just replaced the sensor today and it's still throwing the code. Once my car gets up to temp and warm it'll stop throwing the code. Once after throwing the code I let it sit overnight outside in 30 degrees and the first thing when I started my car it still said it was overheating what should I try taking a look at next other than my cht sensor.

What code is it? I need the number please. There are two temperature sensors.

1. CHT - Cylinder head temperature sensor.

2. ECT - Coolant temperature sensor.

Here are the locations of both. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.
