2002 Tahoe P0118 code after new coolant sensor

[Livebai8]

I originally had a busted cap on my coolant sensor...replaced with new sensor and reattached plug and I still have the P0118 code/engine light on dash...is there a break in and auto reset or do I need to replace the plug with a new one? I'm also not getting a engine temp read...may need a new thermostats too...

Where’d you get your sensor—Duralast or Delco?

Duralast

Was this a bad move? My Tahoe is my barely weekend driver...and sits most days.

Ok folks...i replaced the pigtail for the coolant sensor and all is well now...no engine light and good temp readings.
