Hello,

I have 2003 Camry LE. I have been getting error code that says "Coolant Temperature Below Normal Thermostat level".

I have had three different mechanics tell me three different solutions.

Flush the Radiator
Replace the Sensor
Replace the Thermostate

Dealer is saying I have to do all three.

I am trying to find out if anyone knows solution for this error code.
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I did flush the coolant once and light came back after about 3 days or so. As for Warranty, well i would be from time stand point but I have put on 65K miles (all highway) on it already so don't think so.
