I have a problem with the Temp Sensor. I have replaced the temp sender but the tempature guage immediately goes past the red. The engine is not hot and the Temp light does not come on. I get a code 15
when checking the codes. The fan DOES go on when I turn on the A/C. Help!

How about about the coolant temperature sensor also did you test the wires?

Code 15 is for high signal voltage in the coolant temp sensor circuit.You most likely have a open from the sensor to the ecm.I posted a wire diagram and what the cause for that code is.Let me know what you find.
