P00E2 Ford Code - Charge Air Cooler Coolant Temperature Sensor 'A' Intermittent/Erratic

Quick Answer

The Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Coolant Temperature Sensor (CACCTS) is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. Common causes include Faulty Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Coolant Temperature Sensor (CACCTS), Charge Air Cooler Coolant Temperature Sensor harness is open or shorted, Charge Air Cooler Coolant Temperature Sensor circuit poor electrical connection. Severity is High - diagnose this code as soon as possible. Driving is not recommended if the warning light is flashing, the engine runs poorly, or safety-related symptoms are present.

Code P00E2 Ford Description

The Charge Air Cooler (CAC) Coolant Temperature Sensor (CACCTS) is a thermistor device in which resistance changes with the temperature. The resistance of a thermistor decreases as temperature increases, and the resistance increases as the temperature decreases. The varying resistance affects the voltage drop across the sensor pins and provides electrical signals to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) corresponding to temperature.
Thermistor-type sensors are considered passive sensors. A passive sensor is connected to a voltage divider network so varying the resistance of the passive sensor causes a variation in total current flow. The voltage that is dropped across a fixed resistor (pull-up resistor) in series with the sensor resistor determines the voltage signal at the PCM. This voltage signal is equal to the reference voltage minus the voltage drop across the fixed resistor.
The Charge Air Cooler Coolant Temperature Sensor is installed on the side of the CAC radiator and measures the CAC system coolant temperature. The PCM uses the CAC coolant temperature sensor to determine the desired operating condition of the CAC coolant pump.
This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the Charge Air Cooler Coolant Temperature Sensor signal changes from an in-range value to beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit a calibrated number of times.
