A P0183 code indicates a problem with the fuel temperature sensor circuit in your Lincoln LS. First, check the sensor's wiring and connectors for any signs of damage or corrosion. If those appear fine, consider testing or replacing the fuel temperature sensor itself, as it may be faulty. After addressing the issue, clear the code and take the vehicle for a test drive to see if the code reappears.
The coolant temperature sensor on a 1997 Lincoln Continental is located on top of the engine, near the upper radiator hose. It constantly relays the engine's temperature to the computer.
You need to get the temperature sensor repaired or, more likely, replaced.
The "OC" likely means that the temperature sensor is functioning but the reading is not detected or is out of range. This could be due to a faulty sensor, poor connection, or environmental factors affecting the sensor's ability to accurately measure temperature. It is advisable to troubleshoot the sensor or seek professional help to fix the issue.
Static temperature can be measured using a temperature sensor such as a thermometer or thermocouple. The sensor is placed in the area where the temperature needs to be measured and it provides a reading of the static temperature.

To check if a temperature sensor is working, first, ensure it is properly connected to the power supply and any data acquisition system. Use a calibrated thermometer to compare the temperature reading from the sensor with the thermometer's reading in a controlled environment. You can also perform a continuity test with a multimeter to check for any faults in the sensor's wiring. If the readings are significantly off or if there is no response, the sensor may need to be replaced.
my temperature gauge on my car bmw 318i give me error reading its reach red zone while the engine is cool and i already change the temperature sensor why?
The outside temperature gauge reading "F" likely means that the sensor cannot detect the temperature. This could be due to a malfunction in the sensor or a problem with the wiring. You may need to have the sensor checked and possibly replaced by a mechanic.
Most likely a bad sensor
The 1995 Lincoln Town Car coolant temperature gauge sensor can be found on the front of the engine. The coolant temperature sensor will be a few inches above the thermostat housing.
The sensor its self is to the right of the steering column just below the dashboard. (source: Lincon LS User manual)
