P06AE
Control Module Internal Temperature Sensor B Circuit High
Same as P0669 on internal sensor B. Wiring faults of this kind typically come from chafing, water ingress at connector seals, or pin push-back — a wiggle test on the harness while the code is active often confirms the location.
- Check engine light: Yes
- Emissions related: No
- Repair difficulty: hard
Symptoms
- Check engine light on
