Hello group!
I'm having the following problem with my 2001 Insight MT with AC:
I have a hard time getting 6 bars on the engine temperature gauge. I'm getting to 4 bars most of the time and even getting down to 2 bars if I'm stuck at a red light more than 2 mins. The problem is new with this winter. Everything was ok last year.
Now, I have found the following procedure from another thread here (from Dougie)
I'm getting 2 bars till 52C-53C, 4 bars till 62C-63C and 6 bars above 62C. I never been able to get higher than 69C... I think this number is a bit low while driving.
If I use the heater (ECON AC ON, set at 77F/25C), I have a hard time getting values above 60C-61C.
Thanks for all your help!

Anyone can try that and tell me what they have for #4 while driving the car?Hold down AUTO and MODE while turning on the key, and the A/C display flashes between two numbers. Press the rear window defogger (leftmost) button to advance to the next sensor.
The first number is the sensor:
1 = in car temp
2 = outside temp
3 = sun sensor
4 = engine coolant temperature
5 = evaporator temp
6 = air mix opening %
7 = vent temp out
8 = something about the fan
9 = vehicle speed
For the temperature sensors the reading is in degrees C.
