Check Engine Light

[Keekee]

I have a 2000 Jetta and I have been getting a check engine light. When I check the code, I get a 1255. I can not find out what this code is for. Does anyone know what causes this code? If I clear it, it comes back a couple of days later.

It can only mean one thing. Your car's CPU has become self-aware. KILL IT!

I just pull a Homer, cover the check engine light with a piece of tape

P1255 is engine coolant temp circuit shorted to ground. Check that the temp sensor wiring harness isn't damaged. Sensors aren't that expensive to try.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
