Default Zc swap is in and throwing a code 6.

im stoked that my zc swap is in but its throwing a code 6--coolant temperature. im also noticing that the radiator fan is not turning on even though the motor seems to be getting really hot and the temperature guage is at normal. im guessing there is an error in our wiring. what do you guys think?

Make sure the sensor is plugged in....

Change the sensor with the one from your old engine....

i'd also check the fuses. my friends ef with a ZC swap had this same problem, and it turned out to be a fuse. good luck.

there are 3 coolant temperature sensors on the engine - 2 in the end of the head, just below the distributor - one for the gauge which is one wire (yellow/green) connector - one for the ECU (which gives you code 6) which is 2 wire (red/white & green/white) - one on the back of the block next to the oil filter which turns on the cooling fan, has 2 wire connector (yellow/green & black)
