Initial Symptoms - Cruising along - all is fine then get the chime, "Check Gage" warning message and the Coolant Temp Gage is maxed out. Further warnings 'engine power reduced' (presumably cylinder shutdown) and AC goes off.
Stop the car - not apparently too hot... Turn ignition back on (within 30 secs) and temp gauge is back in normal range. Start engine & gauge stays in normal range - runs just fine.
Just happened again after ~5 days of behaving OK, I assume the coolant sensor (used for the gauge) is either faulty or has a faulty connection...
Will a single sensor cause this? is an OC connection condition sufficient for this behaviour?
Where is the coolant sensor located?
Thanks in advance
