yes it will eventually. -- if at first you dont succeed youre not cut out for skydiving thank you tom for your extremely useful information i would however like to know if the engine icon will go out once the problem is corrected tom lawrence wrote i own a 2001 dodge ram 1500 with a 360 cu. in. motor and the off road package thanks to this web site i was able to generate the engine diagnostic code p1281 but i dont know what it means please help anaybody p1281 indicates the ect engine coolant temperature sensor didnt register a warm-enough reading. there are two causes here - either a bad ect sensor or a stuck-open thermostat. both are pretty simple to change but youll need to do a little diagnostic work to determine which ones really bad. measuring the voltage from the ect with a dvm and comparing to a chart of known voltage-to-temperature mappings or using an obd-ii scan tool that can read the ect output directly will help you determine if the sensor is bad. -- message posted via carkb.com http//www.carkb.com/uwe/forums.aspx/dodge-truck/200507/1 .
