Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

On my way up the driveway last night after a drive I managed to stall the car and upon restarting it I had a code pop up on my dash signaling a temp failure indicator along with my water temp gauge bottoming out and the little amber warning light next to it start blinking. I shut the car off and restarted it only to get the same set of warnings on the dash. This is the first time this has ever happened and when I posted it in a 996 facebook group and I was told that my coolant temp sensor could be out, but after searching a bit it seems that this could also be a low voltage/post stall issue and it could fix itself. Has anybody else had this issue?

POST 2Original post

My car has a similar but different issue. When driving when outside air temp is low this same warning condition occurs just as the temp gauge starts to move off full cold. After a few mimutes it clears itself. Replaced the temp sensor, cleaned all grounds, cleaned all connections relating to the sensor and resevour. Going on for over a year. Still occurs. Hope you find a cause.

POST 3Original post

Low on coolant? Going uphill with low coolant and the sensor is at the forward point of the tank. Maybe you just need a top off of coolant?
