Code 14 ?

[Nomar]

1991 RR
CEL Code 14 "Coolant Thermistor"?
Anyone know what causes this?
Last time(different truck) I just cleared the code and it never came back. I suppose I'll clear this one and wait...

Last week I had an loose connection to my ignition amp on dizzy which kicked out Code 14. Cleared it and it never came back. If it comes back I would replace the Coolant sensor.

Usually, it's due to an open connection on that circuit, ie-disconnected sensor.

Lucas EMS only tells us something is wrong when it's REALLY wrong!

 

[Nomar]

LOL! Hmmm...I've got two wires dangling in space on the pass/side of the oil pan(?) , wonder if that's on the same circuit...!

Those are most likely oil level sender wires.

10-4.

My 2 wires dangle of the same persuasion, but I dont have a code. I pulled out the sensor, but my oil light still blinks upon start up then goes away. Actually, I've tried replacing the reader box and even with the CE light illuminated sometimes, I dont get ANY codes! EVER! How's that for frustrating!

Jeff--call us and we will tell you ALL about the Code 14 and coolant 'thermistor'

We just went through the same thing...

Keeping secrets is not very nice!

C'mawn, spill it!

 

[Nomar]

Yes, let's hear about this coolant thermistor!!
Spill the beans!

As for the blinking oil light eliaschristeas, I believe that's normal until pressure is achieved.

PT, does the oil level sender light up the oil light as well?

Is it? Only one of mine does it, and yes they both have oil.

Bump for Sep. 09!

Code 14......It's back! This time the truck seems to run a little rough though.
Is this sensor on the intake somewhere?
And who has the cheapest one??

 

[MUSKYMAN]

I have dealt with this and found the wires in the plug for the thermistor broken about 1/4' back from the plug a couple of times now.

I guess they must get flexed there to much over the life and they fail. that part of the harness is allready kinda tight and short so I have had the best luck by snipping off the wires and soldering on a new length of wire and connector from a parts truck or harness and leaving enough slack so the harnes isnt pulled tight and causing a future failure.

 

[Nomar]

I'll try and check it this afternoon Thom.
Is it @ the front of the intake on Drvrs side?

You could pull it off that motor you bought from me if you've not already scavenged it for something else...It'd be free then!

It's the one with the connector that looks like an injector plug.

 

[Nomar]

I have plans for that 4.2--------someday!

That's what I thought PT.

Check to make sure you don't have the #1 injector connector swapped with the near by temp sensor. They are the same looking plug and the harness just 'Y' at the end they can be reversed very easily. Causes a code 14. (Don't ask.)
