Hello my wife S70 Check engine msg can up yesturday.

I when to Autozone and but a OBD II Auto scanner call ACTRON
any way the scanner give me the folloing code.

P0116 Engine coolant Temp CKT Range /perf

I don't have a clue what this code means.

It looks like it has to do with my cooling systems?
or a censer for my cooling system?

Sounds like the coolant temperature sensor, which costs about $30 and is plugged in right in the area of the thermostat housing.

Wait, so the car is not reaching full operating temperature? If so, it'd be much cheaper to just throw a new thermostat in there to see if it solves the problem. If not, consider it preventative maintenance.
