    I used this info from another site and it was helpful. See if it helps you. Also, what engine do you have?

    "P0125 sets when the PCM checks the temperature several times at different intervals and either sees no change at all in the temperature sensor voltage or very little change, although the engine has been running long enough that there should have been a significant change. This one is usually caused by the thermostat being stuck wide open, but can also be caused by the temp sensor. It is about a 60/40 shot that the thermostat will fix it. The correct way to diagnose both of these codes is to watch the computer data from the coolant temp sensor and use an infrared thermometer to take a manual temperature reading at the cylinder head. If the manual reading is within 5 or so degrees F. of the computer data, then the temp sensor is OK and the thermostat needs to be replaced. If the temp sensor data is more than 10 degrees F. different than the manual reading, then the sensor should be replaced."

    Thanks for the info. My engine is a 2.4. When I checked the code it said my coolant temp was 85 degrees, can that be right. Do you know were the sensor is located?

    I would say you found your problem then... My 2.4 runs at about 180 degrees at operating temp
