Error 01039 and 18047: Relationship and Causes

Hello,

I've owned my VW Passat B5, manufactured in 2000, with engine code AHH and 66 kW, for about 7 months.

Reading the error memory previously revealed the following two entries:

18047 - Accelerator Position Sensor 1/2 (G79/G185): Implausible signal P1639 - 35-10 - - - Intermittent.

and

01039 - Coolant Temperature Sensor (G2) 30-10 - Open or Short to B+ - Intermittent.


However, it has only happened three times that my vehicle went into emergency mode and the accelerator stopped working.

I've read a lot about error code 18047, and I know how difficult it can sometimes be to fix.

About two weeks ago, I replaced the G62 temperature sensor myself, which solved the temperature gauge problem. Now, the question remains whether there is a connection between the two issues.

01039 and 18047.

Could it be that replacing the G62 temperature sensor also resolved the fault code 18047?

"Everything comes in its own time... that's how it happened for me."

Since I replaced the G62 temperature sensor on January 19th, my Passat no longer goes into limp mode. It's been almost 3 months, and I believe the error code 18047 can now be considered resolved.
