code 6 is for engine coolant temp. it's what provides the ecu with temp info and is a 2 wire sensor located on the side of your cylinder head underneath the distributor.

white smoke is gonna be coolant pretty much guaranteed. i mean unless you're running q16 and just happened to forget to mention it lol
