|  P1296 - Cooling System malfunction If the levels are all good then it's likely to be a sensor/wiring fault. If you're in warranty I'd take it into the dealers. There's obviously a problem there if the fault code keeps coming back! |

| morning everyone,right i know it is 7 months down the line ,but just an update on this post , i never got to the bottom of this problem ,i keep driving with the em light on (does not seem to efffect anything ) anyway i think i have sussed out the general area /cause of it , i had the diagnostics on again comes up with unknown and the origanal p code ,then reset and clear all errors light goes out ,light then stopped off for about a week ,and came back on when i turned my heater and aircon on , so i am assuming that the problem is related to this part of the cooling system ,anyone else had this problem ? |

| Did you take it to the dealer? Has it had the coolant temp sensor updated to a four pin green?
