The CC error code 09 (in channel 1) is common in transition-year
(1989) models which did not actually have the G62 sensor installed.
But for the '91 200q20v you should not _normally_ expect to get that
error code. The sensor resistance may check out OK, but there could
be a wiring issue at the ECU. You might also check out the CC channel
that reports engine coolant temp (offhand I can't recall which
channel) from the G62 sensor.
