Assume the chaffing is upstream of the coolant temp sensor?

(which is where?) Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

It's not a coolant sensor fault in sdd it's saying loss of can , engine relay and incompatible software

Please ignore if you know better but it was my understanding that DTC faults cant be guaranteed to be accurate. If a system is faulty the fault codes can be just as spurious as the symptoms..

Of course, even when they're wrong, they can provide helpful hints (as often as they give you red herrings). Solved the bowel problem, working on the consonants...

coolant sensor is wired ECM

controller area network between ecm to instrument cluster

battery light wired to instrument cluster

No I agree it is wired in the ecm
But the fault is communication to cluster via ecm
I will check loom but was kind of hoping there was a tbs or something

My apologies it posted twice am mobile at the moment
