CEL after adding Coolant Filter
 
OK, so I just got done putting the coolant filter on and for some reason the damned CEL is on. What could the cause of this be, and how do I fix it? Quick replies would be greatly appreciated.:s::humm:

OK so to add to this, just took it for a test drive, and now the boost gauge is not showing any readings. It sounds like the turbo is spooling, and initially after firing the truck up I get a baseline reading, but then the gauge just doesn't register. Did I get something wet that I shouldn't have or are there bigger issues. If it threw a code I should be able to find out on Monday, after I get the SCT livewire put on, but as for right now I am at a a loss.:argh:

You probably tripped the low coolant sensor, get the code read and post it and someone will confirm. :c:

I think that might be a possibility, I added to the min line and then fired it up, and it dropped below the line, then added more to make sure the level was good (just a hair above the minimum line). The biggest question now standing is the damn lack of turbo gauge response to throttle. Guess I may have to take it to the auto parts store and have them read the codes to see for sure, until I get mine livewire hooked up.

Probably unhooked the map sensor tube, it goes right into the top of intake on pass. side, the map sensore sits right above and to the left of the turbo, that is what shows you the boost, your cel is probably for low boost considering you aren't showing any. To my knowlege there is no "Low Coolant" sensor, just a temp sensor.

no their is not a low coolant sensor. it would be on the degas bottle and we dont have one.

Anyone have a pic of what I am supposed to be looking at? I'm kinda dumb without pics.

It is a rubber hose that comes from top of intake manifold on pass side and goes to the cowl area right to the left of the turbo. There should be 2 small rubber hoses coming from intake, one goes to degas bottle and comes out right above egr cooler the other one comes out of the runner part of intake/air/ look on top of intake for a small hose barb on passenger side of intake

Just looked again, and there is nothing disconnected, both of those hoses are attached and the electrical connectors that are in that same area are connected as well. Still confused.

Wasn't sure a lot of newer stuff has them. :c:

OK, I finally got the Livewire updated and ready to go, got it plugged in and got the code P0237. Anyone know what that is?
