I have a 2001 Ford Explorer XLT, I have recently bought this SUV. It will not pass emissions inspection. The engine light is on, and the temperature gauge is not working. I made a trip to my local auto parts store, and they checked the OBD code and it came up to the engine coolant sensor. I changed the sensor and the engine light is still on. Do I need to reset the computer, or could it be something else that I maybe need to check into before calling my repair man?

Have them reset the light at the parts store. It does need reset. If it comes back on after being reset, have them check it again to see if it is a different code.

Let me know what you find.
