You'll get P0116 for a bad ECT 850

The bad ECT sensor code is P0116 - Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range/Performance Problem. However, this code is the same thing you get for thermostat problems, and based upon what I've read here, the thermostat is much more likely to be the problem. I got this code about 2 months ago on my '98 S70 GLT...left the ECT sensor alone and replaced the theromstat (with the clear and easy instructions from Bay 13 and www.matthewsvolvosite.com), and no problems since.
