See the attached picture. Anyone had a coolant sensor issue?

sorry my car isn't ZCP so apparently I can't help you... obviously this code is different for ZCPs as opposed to civic M3s

I'm not sure how to comment back to that -

Sounds like someone has an inferiority complex.

Yep, but could use so help with this.

Looks like a bad coolant temp sensor. Take it to the dealer they will know exactly what to do with this.

The second code for thermostat monitoring is most likely just a result of the voltage on the Coolant Temp Sensor being out of range...... this is nothing to be alarmed about.

+1. When temp. sensor goes out, or any sensor for that matter, it shuts the circuit which causes a too high resistance (blocked circuit-way due to the bad sensor) which cause the CEL show.

Just have dealer change it and you should be all set!

Let us know how things works out for you.

It has been 6 years. Have you ever visited to dealer yet?

Anymore insight on the second code? "2B59"
I have only seen that code stored, not the first code from the OPs post.

I had that one. Replaced my thermostat and has not come back. It's been several months now. I used to get it 2-3 times a month before that. When doing the job of replacing the thermostat, might as well do the sensor, too. It's really cheap and about 5 mins extra labor.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm up for a coolant flush anyways, so I'll do the t-stat and sensor soon.
Might just be the sensor but oo well.

2B59 - Coolant monitoring

BMW replaced the thermostat, coolant, and vent pipe when this happened on my car.

Which part number is the tstat sensor?

Had this a few months back and replaced both the thermostat and sensor although I suspect the sensor was at fault. What I noticed is that the sensor builds up some kind of crud from byproducts in the coolant which artificially alters the resistance of the sensor and hence you can this intermittent error. The sensor itself is very easy, but you might as well get the thermostat too. Just be careful of getting the fuel rail off carefully..

Nope, planning on swapping it out next month at the 100k mark. No joke

Despite best efforts, my commitment to procrastination failed five days ago. (4/24/2021)
