my car hates the cold
last night was the first night temps drop to around 26. and i start my car to leave work and after a min or two of letting it warm up the SES light comes on. seemed to run fine so i drove it home and it was all good. I went to get the codes checked turns out it was 10 of them. All heated o2 sensor failed. MAF sensor voltage circuit, 4 injector coils codes, and injector circuit voltage high. And the radiator cracked all this happened at one time so what would cause all the codes.

Your title probably tells it all. Too cold. It is probably affecting the readings. If those issues are not happening when the car is warm (no SES light) then you are probably fine. If you don't like seeing that happen all winter I'm sure a competent mechanic can 'fix' the false readings. I sure would.

Weird thing was I changed the radiator and while I had the bellow and stuff off I looked through the maf and it had residue all in it couldn't really tell what it was but I just cleaned it with some spray check engineklight when off and seem to run better. So i'm assuming when the radiator bust coolant got sucked into it and caused the light.
