2.3 DOHC motor - correct operating temp
#21
OK... 

The 2nd Scan tool is showing the same readings by comparison.

But I realize now I may have made very large mistake.  

When I moved the coolant tube that houses the SENDER and the ECT SENSOR from the J18 to the J23 
(This tube runs from the back of the motor to the front and into the radiator)  I just moved the 
tube, KEEPING the ECT SENSOR for the J18 in place..

Well    This MAY be the reason why the temps are being reported so high..

The ECT SENSOR is DIFFERENT between the J18 and J23  ( I looked it up at Rock Auto . comparing vendor part numbers)

ECT on J18 motor (when in the Sidekick) is 3 wire
ECT on J23 motor (when in the Aerio) is 2 wire  

Could the ECT itself that I have in now be bad, generating values that are reporting incorrect, IE high temps?
