P0117
Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor Circuit 1 Low Input
DTC P0117, sometimes indicated as P011700 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing engine coolant temperature sensor circuit 1 low input.
This code means that the engine coolant temperature sensor is reading a temperature that is lower than expected. This could be caused by a coolant leak, a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor, or a problem with the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit.
If you have a coolant leak, fix it! If you have a faulty engine coolant temperature sensor, replace it! If you have a problem with the engine coolant temperature sensor circuit, check the wiring and connector, and repair or replace as necessary.

2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE with 55000.0 miles
While i was driving on the highway, a warning came on saying that my a/c was turned off because my engine was overheating and my check engine light came on. My temperature gauge was on cold. When i first took my car to the dealership, they could not figure out what was wrong. They cleared the codes and told me to come back if the warning came back on. Three weeks later, the warning came on again when driving on the highway. The first time the warning came on, i had been driving for about 6 hours. After the codes were cleared, the warning came back on when i had been driving for about 2.5 hours. In the two weeks between the warning coming back on and when i took it back to the dealership, sometimes the warning would come on right away when i turned on the car. Other times, it would take 10 mins of driving before it would come on. When i drove, the temperature gauge would fluctuate between cold and halfway between cold and hot. After fluctuating for a few minutes, it would go to cold and the warning would come on. I took it back and the dealership told me that my coolant thermostat sensor and housing needed replacing. The car had error codes P0118 and P0117. As this problem could cause my engine to overheat and it seems like it is a common problem with the chevy Cruze, i do not understand why there has not been a recall yet. The warning occurred with a little less than 55,000 miles on the car.
