code p2181 . Check engine and ETC light came on.
Replaced the Tstat, ECT sensor, antifreeze and cleaned the throttle body. The temp gauge will not rise past 1/4 of the way. Not sure what else to do

your etc light came on because of the one code. or the can bus lost contact with pcm. this should be diagnosed by a professional. because it may be a connection or wiring issue. in pic are reason to set code. Also extremely cold temps will set the code as well.
