    Does your motor leak at all?

    The reason I ask is because with coolant, oil and airflow issues, its possible that a head gasket could be bad. Hopefully someone has an alternate solution.

    Another question, did you make sure there was no air in the system?

    I highly doubt changing your coolant would cause all those sensors to go bad. Did you get water on anything or anywhere, accidentally pull a wire out or forget to hook something back up?

    Hi,
    I am the tech manager at Prestone and a mechanic as well. I doubt any of these are related to changing your coolant. If you tell me the year of your car and send your email address to me at Jay.Buckley@Honeywell.com, I will look up and email you troubleshooting instructions for each code.

    Being that you changed coolant.. check the grounds on the front of the transmission. Also check your fuses.

    This shouldn't be a head gasket, especially since they are the least common gasket to ever go on these motor.s
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
