Default Check Engine Light (continued)

This is a continuation of the thread I started on the temporary forum. I started getting a CEL after I installed a hondata gasket. Blinks 6 times, short. I got this from modifry's site=

P0117 0 - 6 --------------- Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Low Input
P0118 0 - 6 --------------- Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High Input

I have changed the sensor, reset the ecu, still get a CEL. I tried bleeding the system, reset the ecu, got a CEL after about 40-50 miles. Anything else to troubleshoot tihs code?

Aw shit, can anyone help me with my next step? Like testing the actual wire checking for ohms/power/anything?

The specific DTC and stored freeze data are going to be your biggest help in troubleshooting.

While blink--blink works it would be best to have someone pull your codes using an ODB-II scan tool. This would get a much better understanding of any issue the car is seeing.

I got the code checked out and it came out to be a totally different problem then originally thought. P0411 is what it came out to be. This is weird because the CEL flashed 6 times. P0411 Secondary Air Injection System Incorrect Flow. I am thinking it has to do with a vacuum line. I will double check my lines. Thanks everyone!!!

- I say check these first, since its more likely that you could have these switched around:

check that you have the white check valve behind the factory airbox is installed the correct way in the line. did you recently install a cold air intake or anything?

It flashed 6 long blinks, for a code 60 Instead of 6 short blinks for a 6.

Nice animation Dut, LOL! I switched those lines and the CEL has not came on yet. I think the problem has been fixed. Thanks everyone!
BTW: 6 long blinks says that it would be the AIR PUMP, is that the air pump?
