Thanks for that.
Remove and checked Resistance as follows:-
Room Temp...........4.9 k ohms
Cold water............6.5 k "
Warmed by hand...3.5 k "
Are the above meter readings OK??
Thanks:1zhelp:

I had fitted a "Tuning Chip" that plugs into the FTS.
I have seen elsewhere that this Chip can give spurious errors, so looks like this could be the problem.

Engine MIL on and a fault code saying the sensor is faulty or open circuit.
