Default Issues after header/ cat install. Please provide feedback?

I finally got my Kooks 1 3/4 headers, HF cats with xpipe and connecting pipes installed. I broke the oil temp sensor and the coolant temp sensor connectors off. Below is a breakdown of the issues, please tell me if this is normal or not????????????????

Thanks for the help in advance

1) CODES

PCM
P0118 C
P1637 C H

IPC
B1543 HC

SCM
No Comm

RFA
U1096 H
U1064 H
U1016 H

Coolant temp reading shows xxx F on the DIC and the guage pegs at 260 F until I reset the PCM codes

Oil temp reads low on the DIC

DIC message "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" appears when I shut the car off

I guess the only thing that really bothers me is that coolant temp gauge although I know the connector is unplugged it still bugs me to see that high temp LOL

So are the sensors fixed/replaced?? If not I would start at that then delete the codes.

Do not have the new sensors yet, but need to know if any of this stuff sounds out of place considering the sensors are out of commision? Thanks

Did you try clearing your codes to see which ones come back? The only codes that are C (current) are:

P0118 Engine Coolant Temp (ECT) Sensor High Voltage or Excessive Time to Closed Loop Fuel Control

P1637 Generator L-Terminal Circuit

B1543 Oil Temperature Circuit Open

These would seem to relate to the broken oil temp sensor and coolant temp sensor connectors.

Yes no sensors = stuff is going to be out of place, I am pretty sure the engine relies on the temp sensor for different things, try to fix that asap
