Seeing the P1299 code pop up on your Ford Escape isn't ideal. But then again, are any fault codes good news? That's why they're dubbed fault codes! In this case, the code is triggered by a cylinder head temperature sensor detecting the engine is overheating. This issue can stem from various factors, with the most common culprits being a faulty thermostat, low engine coolant levels, or a malfunctioning radiator fan. Another possibility is a faulty or malfunctioning cylinder head temperature sensor. Should there be poor electrical connection with the sensor, this code may also appear erroneously. It's important to monitor your engine temperature regularly during normal operation and address any necessary diagnostics and repairs promptly.
