Awesome i already pulled the codes thank you.. Now since my car's fan's won't go on unless my AC is on and everyone on here pretty much decided my ECT is bad can anyone explain to me this "117 (O,M) ECT sensor is/was low or grounded" Does that mean it's bad and can that tell me for sure to get a new one or what does it mean? Thank's..

I thought you already bought a new one? :shrug:

In any case, yes, that code is another indication that you have a failed ECT sensor. You can further confirm it's a sensor failure and not a harness short by unplugging the sensor, and (with the A/C off) starting the car. The fans should run constantly with the ECT sensor disconnected.
