Completely forgot to update:
UPDATE: sensor replaced, test drive and light is out. Went ahead and replaced the front left sensor as well. All good now.
UPDATE:
I took the wheel off and checked the sensor wire and it was intact. Disconnected the wire from the sensor and removed the retaining bolt for the sensor, but was unable to remove the sensor itself (it's the original one!) so rather than force it and damage it, especially since I hadn't...
UPDATE:
Went to 2 auto stores this morning to see if they could pull the codes.. OReilly's was a joke as their reader was even more basic than mine. Luckily, there's an Autozone right across the highway and had better luck there:
Codes:
C1142-A0: Right Front Tone Ring Missing Tooth Fault...
Hello Everyone. This issue is for a 2010 Mazda 5 Sport/automatic/215,xxx miles.
A couple nights ago I drove the car to take my son to work. On the way home I stopped to get gas. When I started the car to leave the gas station, the lights came on and did not go out. On the way out a few hours...
All seems well. No leaks from the new cooler. Test drives yesterday and a longish trip, complete with stop and go traffic and as far as the water temp gauge is concerned, rock solid in the middle. Probably going to invest in either gauges or one of the apps to have better info. I'd say this...
Got the new cooler on today. Topped off fluids, burped the radiator and checking for leaks overnight. Might have to do some more "burping". Got good heat and everything looks okay but the fans never came on at all, even after an extensive idle. Will check that out tomorrow.
Thanks for the advice and perspective! Even with all the reading and video watching I did, that approach never made a mark in my mind! Should have probably asked earlier.
As far as my friend, I'm not sure what seal brands he used. I know he did not use sealant maker.
Hey Silentnoise! Not sure. I thought about doing just the gasket, but decided to just do the job once. I had a friend who replaced the gasket and had to do it 2 more times before just getting the cooler. I was able to find a Dorman cooler at a relatively decent price, so I pulled the trigger...
Replaced MAF today after getting a P2177. Also found a "test" mode when using the following instructions to reset the PCM. I think. I was intrigued.. couldn't much else on it on line specific to the 5 at all
