Does this car have a turbo?

P2183 - Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 (ECT2)

There are two sensors, on is the cylinder temperature sensor, the other a coolant temp sensor. ECT2 is at the radiator outlet (lower hose/outlet tank). ECT2 helps the PCM manage fans, thermostat strategy, and grill shutters.

Clear the codes once completed and you should be good to go, these sensors have a high failure rate FYI. Let us know if you need anything else.

The Energi is the plug-in hybrid. I replaced the cylinder sensor three years ago with another code, now this one is failing but I can't seem to find a diagram or part number.

Yes, this is because the sensor is down near the lower radiator hose on the radiator tank, use a flashlight and look if it please.
