Answer 1

P1296 Malfunction in the cooling system.

This is for the coolant temperature sensor, what needs to be done is to inspect for any coolant leak and the operation of the cooling system. If the cooling system is fine the engine coolant temperature sensor would need to be replaced and the coolant temperature teminal pigtail.
