Hey guys,

i have a 2010 Honda Accord EXL V6. Today I replaced the gaskets on my spool valve due to them leaking on my alternator. Once I reconnected everything I had to disconnected to get to it, I turned my car on and it started just fine. One problem though, my CEL light came on immediately. Ran the code scanner and it came back as P0118. Anybody have any idea if there is any correlation? Is it just the sensor? Any suggestions would be appreciated

 

Did you disconnect a coolant temp sensor and forgot to connect it back up or not all the way connected recheck the area and make sure all plugs are plugged back in all the way

 

The sensor you're looking for is the one that sits just before your throttle body.

 

just before the throttle body? Hmm, i thought I reconnected everything back correctly. I’ll double check. Is it this one I circled?

 

Yes it is

 

I thought I ensured I plugged it in. Could it be I also shorted it?
(I’m at work, so I can’t check until tomorrow . )

thanks again

 

Yes it can be I'm just letting you know where to focus your efforts. Check the wires to make sure it's not broke.

 

CEL is gone leal from my spool valve is also gone after new gaskets, some hondabond

thank you

 

Did you forget to plug it back in?

 

it was plugged in, not sure what happen there
i just disconnected it, then reconnected it, then started her up. CEL was gone
