The coolant temp sensor is probably doing its job. You may have other issues such as being low on coolant or a thermostat going bad.
Temperature.
Could be low on coolant or a sticky thermostat.
low coolant
Check coolant level Could be thermostat opening and closing due to engine coolant temperature flutuation
Possibly the thermostat is opening and closing with the water pressure changes. Could be low on coolant also.
Because you have a coolant leak somewhere.
Coolant sensors can cause a lot of various problems. The ECM relies on the coolant sensor for temperature readings. This is so that it can adjust the timing, fuel, and other related systems. But without knowing more I couldn't say that it is your problem.
A 2001 BMW 325i has two coolant temperature sensors. They constantly monitor the temperature and adjust flow as needed.
If a thermostat is stuck open it will cause the "bubbling". The thermostat opens and closes giving your coolant time to cool off in the radiator. When stuck open the coolant will keep circulating and just get hotter and hotter until overheating occurs. You should change it right away. I hope this will help you. If by "open" you mean that it is stuck in a position which allows coolant to constantly flow then the last answer is FALSE. If it is stuck open, and coolant constantly flows, then your engine will not heat up to the proper temperature. It will constantly be cool, because guess what, that's what coolant flow does. That means your bearings will not expand properly and such causing a host of other engine problems. If it is stuck open, then you need to replace it.
The heater core could be clogged up.
The coolant temperature sensor on a 1999 Mondeo is located on top of the engine, in the intake manifold. It constantly updates the vehicle's computer and controls the cooling fan.
