DTC P2182: Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor 2 Circuit

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty, 2013 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2013 Ford F-250 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
DTC P2182: ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR 2 CIRCUIT

Description:  This DTC sets when the secondary cooling system engine coolant temperature 2 (ECT2) sensor reading does not correlate with the other temperature sensor readings at ignition ON. The PCM runs this logic after an engine OFF and a calibrated soak period, typically 6 - 8 hours. This soak period allows the secondary cooling system ECT2 and the other temperature sensors to stabilize and not differ by greater than a calibrated value, typically 18°C (32.4°F).
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged secondary cooling system ECT2 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:  Make sure the secondary cooling system ECT2 sensor reading and the other temperature sensor readings are similar when the engine is cold.
