Maybe wiring issue, read more here:http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17704/P1296/004758

What program did you use to her fault codes? P errors tend to be OBD2....
Worth checking actual readback with VCDS.

What's the story if you look at measuring blocks rather than fault codes with VCDS?

If you have VCDS lite you can look at measuring blocks, not merely fault codes....

What wiring? Obviously the wiring between ECU and temp sender.
