    Does the ECU lie??

    My ecu was blinking a code of 6-the ECT Sensor. Before i went to go buy the part i checked it again and it's not blinking. My ecu is connect correctly because when you turn the key i get a single blink.

    Should i still replace my ect sensor? Or was the ecu "mistaken"

    the ecu flashes only what it sees, so if you got that code only once it could have been a temporary malfunction
