Unlikely. The temperature is not regulated per say by anything to do with electronics other than the cooling system Senser/Fan system... The thermostat is most likely your problem. Possibly an air pocket in the coolant, or, maybe a pinched hose, or plugged radiator, but it will not be the CPS.. Max420
