Temperature gauge says it's hot all the time.

[stefen]

My wife's CR-V is indicating that the temperature is hot even though she has just started the engine. Now I have a problem because I can't seem to figure out what might be the cause of this. I already replaced the sensor but still the same.

Please help.

Dont you know its hot weather started in engine. SO ur car is over thinking and telling you what lies ahead. Just kiding bro.

If you change water sending temp sensor then all i can say its a faulty gauge and most expensive thing to change. Sorry bro.

stefen...from the start or turning on the key without turning on the engine..., does the temp gauge indicating hot? if that so, yes its caused by faulty gauge, even you already replaced the sensor.... if its coming hot after few mins. you started the engine then it might be the engine cooling system...and your gauge is right.
