A few days ago my car didnt started i thought it was the coolant sensor cus my plug was broken, i just fixed it, the car starts ok makes a good idle, never been better, over 950 cus theres where i wanted with dsmlink.

I couldnt rev my engine dies over 2000rpms so it did the same think like about 2 months ago, it was the gm sensor disconected, so i opened the hood again and chek and, it was conected, so i chek my chek engine codes on DSMLINK and says
0115 Engine coolant temp circuit malfunction
0110 Intake air temperature circuit malfunction
0100 volume air flow circuit malfunction

So i made a datalog at idle and it does reads inj time O2 volts timing advance and all that but air flow per rev its at 0, air flow 0, coolant temp -40F and air intake temp -40F. so i thought my GM sensor was gone, i opened my translator box to see if the led light were on and none of them are on.

Is the translator broken?

I need my car ASAP
how do i verify is the translator is not the bad thing here
 
Your problem happend to me a while back, crank the engine and have someone look at the translator box, if the lights dont come on then its the box. The 0115 coolant code should not be related to the translator, you might have a bad sensor on the thermostat housing.
 
the coolant sensor its the plugh that its broken i already fixed it but, how can this box break? i lokked at the board and seems normal, no burns anywere. I hate to buy another translator when the V3 of dsmlink wont need it

id really like to find the wire diagram so i can prove its the box, before spending $200 again
 
ok
i disconected the gm sensor and the red led went on, it dosent blinks stay on, so i conect back the gm sensor and it turns off

anyone knows what that means?
is the sensor bad?

As far as I know, it's supposed to do that. I'm not thinking your translator is bad.
