The most common cause of faulty temperature readings is a broken coolant temperature sensor (CTS). The part, which is normally located near a vehicle's thermostat near the base of the radiator (consult your owner's manual or repair guide) can get gunked up and fail.

If the amp in question is a car amp, the most likely cause is a faulty remote turn-on wire. If there's a problem with this wire or if it's hooked up incorrectly, you're not going to get any power to your amplifier. Other causes include: A broken or loose power wire.

How fix it?

Continue Troubleshooting

  • Turn the ignition switch Off.
  • Unplug the sending unit electrical connector and turn the ignition switch On. Whether the engine is warmed up or cool, the gauge should read cold.
  • Ground the sending unit (signal) wire using a jumper wire. Turn the ignition switch On.

  • How do I know if my temperature sensor is working?
  1. How to test a faulty thermocouple or resistance thermometer?
  2. Check if the -ve and +ve leads swapped.
  3. Check for any thermocouple cable wiring issues.
  4. Check for local heat source issues.
  5. Check Temperature Transmitter Settings.
  6. Check temperature controller settings.
  7. Troubleshooting temperature sensors with a multimeter.
