- VF Series II SV6 Wagon
Hi Team!
Seeing if I can get some assistance / understanding as to what may be happening.
Recently, my SV6 Wagon has been causing me grief, due to the Temperature Sensor readings on the Dash.
When the Ignition is triggered, all the guages do their dance while turning on.
However, after the "dance", the Temperature Sensor stays on "cold", with a warning popping up saying the "A/C was turned off due to High Temperature".
Initially thought this was due to the Engine Temp Sensor itself (had the check engine light come on) and recently had this replaced. Yet, the problem has come back.
Check engine light is on, temp sensor stays on "Cold" (all the way to the left), Thermo Fans are constantly running at full boar, and AC gets disabled.
After having a read through the forum, it could be one of the following;
- Air stuck in the system
- Radiator Cap fault
Having a look at the Radiator cap, it appears to be fine, no damage to the seal within the cap (from what I can tell).
It could be Air stuck in the system (not 100% certain), as after a couple of days, the Temp Guage reports correctly! Comes back up to a normal operating temperature.
Any ideas brains trust? Happy to provide more info + photos if anyone wants to see more.
