New h22 swap- code 6

[AccordReborn]

So i just finished my h22a swap and im pretty happy with the results. I had a couple of problems that i took care of but i cant seem to figure out my CEL 6.
Its the engine coolant temperature sensor and its causing both of the fans to run constantly whenever the key is in the on position. I replaced 2 sensors that are located underneath the dizzy and cant figure out whats wrong.

Does your gauge get to full hot?

also the two switches that go activate the fans are on both water necks on the engine.

Might be the fan timer control module located under the dash on the driverside. but i have never seen that go bad

the code 6 is the one right under the dizzy i just had this problem and it was that my wire had popped out of the butt connector where the wires had been lengthened

[AccordReborn]

i replaced the plug from a spare one off of an extra wire harness i have laying around and replaced the sensor itself with one from my f22. No change.
what if i ran a new wire from the sensor to the ecu? that where that wire goes right? oh yeah and the fans are always on even right after startup. It has a hard time getting warm

edit:

oh yeah and the temp gauge acts normally and does eventually get up to the middle.

interesting ... wait did you plug the temp sensor in the front or rear neck into the wrong one and vise/versa all of the temp sensor plugs are the same even though they monitor different things

[AccordReborn]

possibly. theres 4 plugs that deal with with temperature right? 3 are two pin and are located on the front and rear coolant neck things and the other under the dizzy. there is one 1 pin connector under the dizzy also. are you saying that i mixed up one of the two pin connectors? isnt the code 6 for the single wire connector though?

The single wire temp sensor is for the temp gauge on the cluster. It wont throw a CEL if unplugged. Just your temp gauge wont work.

[AccordReborn]

what do you guys think is making it throw a cel then?

[tn_accords]

ok.. the plug for the coolant temp sensor on the thermostat housing has a black and blue wire. that i know for sure.. i will have to look in the daylight for the other two sensors.. but try and swap plugs with the one that is at water neck that has the hose coming from the top of the radiator with the one under the dizzy and see if that works. good luck.

You know, I was thinking there was only two sensors, one that goes into the thermostat housing and the one under the dizzy. Plus the one wire for the gauge.

I know that when I did mine, I had a similar problem, but one of the wires was cut flush to the sensor, so it looked connected, and sometimes was, but a bump could disconnect it.

[trickedaccord92]

yep a disconneceted wire, cut wire, mixed up wires, or mixed up plugs sound to be your problem ... the 1 wire plug is for the gauge, the plug on the head under the dizzy is the one that will throw a code and the other 2 control cooling fans ... i didnt think of this last night but you said your fans stay on which indicates a constant signal im willing to bet that you have one of the temp fan plugged into the head and the one thats supposed to be on the head plugged into one of the temp fans due to the fact that your fans stay on and the sensor on the head sends a constant signal. the other 2 sensors wont throw a code i dont think since i have my rear one wired together anyways so that my fan stays on all the time anyways

thanks for the help. It ended up being mixed up plugs. All 3 of the two pin plugs were in the wrong spot. oops
