Need Help! What is a p0118 code?

I know what it means. But how do I fix it? I changed the thermostat sensor and that did not work. Any one know about how to get rid of this code?

you replaced the thermostat already, so try replacing the coolant sensor.

you sure you replaced the right coolant temp. sensor? there should be one for the ECU and there is one for the gauge.

I just had this problem, have you done any wiring lately? I'd check all your connections if anything is tapped into the ECU, that was my problem.

Where is the other plug for the gauge? The only one I replaced was the one plugged into the thermostat housing.
