Thanks. Resetting the ECM fixed my 2010 Sierra. Fans started acting up this week and temp guage showing COLD. Same display, Engine HOT AC turned OFF. Saturday today, pulled out my OBD scanner but it's so old, it doesn't even work any more. Got a better one on sale and plugged it in. Got a P0128 code saying Coolant Thermostat. I already knew it wasn't the thermostat because I did the rad hose check and the coolant reservoir was cold. Started looking online and found this vid. Here I thought it was the temp sending unit and just wanted to confirm. So glad it was as easy as this.
This really helped me out I was stressing out thinking this n that n all along it was this thanks man really appreciate ur teachings ur da man wit da plan 💪🏽💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
Freaking life saver, I have literally just replaced my radiator so I was fully ready to return it to a mechanic in order to get a diagnosis. Just saved me a 100$ fuse fix 😂
Yooooo this worked for my Chevy Equinox 2009!!! For months it’s been like this and just to think that simply reseating the fuse brought my gauge back to normal! Super grateful!!
I bought the fan relay thermostat and coolant, thankgod I came across your video before I took it apart I have a 2010 gmc sierra thank you much your a life saver
Thank you thank you so much for this video! Although the fuse box cover was a pain to get off, removing the fuse and putting it back in fixed the issue! Lifesaver!
Thank you! My 2010 Chevy Impala is a piece of trash! It always gives me problems. This time I was lucky to find your video! 185,000 miles and running 🥂
❤. Great help, knowledge and tip. I was skeptical. But, guess what. Easiest fix I’ve ever done. Cured the engine hot/AC off fault and temperature gauge works perfectly. Cadillac STS 4.6. Big thumbs up and thank you. 👍 😃
Hey guys I saw plenty of videos of this problem. I have a 2013 Chevy Silverado work truck with a 4.3L. To keep long story short I had same issue. I replaced thermostat and coolant temperature sensor with Advance auto parts products to fix the problem, and it did but only for 2 days. As I was driving on the highway the message came back. The permanent fix is to replace the thermostat with a AC Delco brand. I have absolutely no clue why the aftermarket thermostat doesn’t fix the issue but I can guarantee the OEM thermostat does the trick. Going a couple of weeks and a couple of hundred miles under the new ac delco thermostat and issue has not come back. Hopefully it stays that way.
Hello I had the same issue I changed the temp sensor and the thermostat at local parts store it didn’t work they kept resetting it but 24 hours later had same message I was about to give up til I read your post and went to my local Chevy dealer and bought original parts and finally got this problem resolved. Thank you for your comment 😊
Driving into work this morning my truck did exactly this... I stopped at a local mechanic about a mile away and everything looked fine to him. He said to google the problem. Your fix was the first article I saw. I'll have to try it when I go back to my truck. Thank you!!!
There is a much more permanent solution. Stop buying American cars. Problem solved. American car manufacturers have all the data they need to make vehicles using parts they know will last. Yet they continue building them using parts they know will fail. For example, every single Chevy Blazer / S-10 will have the fuel pump fail. It’s expensive and difficult to replace. This was the only car in my entire life that I ever had to replace this part on. The new part is over $350 and only comes with a one year warranty because Chevy KNOWS it’s a junk part. But they don’t care. They are also notorious for bad ball joints. For decades, Dodge has been putting their 2.7L engine in cars, they even used them in Dodge Chargers. These are the worst engines ever made and Dodge is WELL aware of it. But they are STILL using them. The passages in the block are too narrow for the oil to flow through it. The best solution is to actually rebuild the motor and the person who does it can widen those passages. And they recommend ignore the manufacturer and only using non synthetic oil (10W30) and changing your oil every 2,000 miles or you risk blowing the motor. I could go on and on. So it’s best to just stop buying American cars until they can build cars that last, instead of cars that LOOK good. Honda and Toyota are FAR superior. Sorry not sorry.
Thanks so much. I was not even going to begin to try and change out my own thermostat. Luckily this simple fix worked and thanks for the easy to follow video!
I absolutely love you, thank you for the help, was thinking I did something wrong after replacing the coolant hose connect but turns out it was simply that, a really quick fix appreciate it!
Wow Here I am thinking that I had to go and replace the thermostat or the temperature sensor. I pulled the fuse as instructed waited for 20 seconds and the temperature gauge was back in action. Great video thanks God bless. 🙏
Damn, you saved the day with this video! Thank you! Your explanation was flawless, and it worked perfectly for us on a trip miles away from home. Thanks!
WTF! That actually worked! Same exact problem with my 2010 Buick Lacrosse. Unplugged ECM-BATT fuse, plugged it back in and...voila! Problem solved! Awsome! Saved me a whole lot of work. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the video! Glad it was something simple this time for me. I just replaced the radiator so I thought it was something worse but car works normal after resetting the fuse 😊
Thanks for this. It worked on my work vehicle. It always happens when it's cold outside. As far as a permanent fix, it seems that sensors or wiring couldn't be the issue, as resetting the ECU would only result in a very temporary fix. As soon as it sees that problem, it would come back in. Bad ECU or programming, perhaps?
Typically, a P0128 code will be associated with this issue. That code is usually related to a thermostat not closing properly to allow the engine to get to operating temperature consistently. The PCM logic will eventually set the ‘engine hot’ warning. Removing the fuse resets the PCM. At some point, the root cause of the problem needs addressed.
I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado that does this without the check engine light. The fuse looks good, I’ve been looking for the next video on how to fix it.
Man if only all videos were this straight forward and actually helped the world would be perfect. Thanks man
For real!!! Great stuff man!
Bro thank you so much, this solution worked for me and ended 6 months of very confusing car problems. Thank you man for the blessing
Wow, thanks! Like most people I was ready to buy a new sending unit. Saved me a day in a hot truck! God Bless!

I'm thankful there are people like you who help people like me. There is a lot of selfishness out there, but also loving people, too.
Hey guy, you saved my ass right before family vacation. Fuse pull worked, and I got the ecm reset without the programming. Awesone sauce. Thank you.

Thank you!! My AC gave out in 100° weather and this hack fixed it.
This worked like a dream! One question though, should I expect it to happen again in the future?
Thank you so much!!!! I don't know much at all about vehicles.. I was ready to pay a mechanic! And this only took a few seconds !!
It helped my Chevy Cruze 2012. Thanks for sharing!

Is this really solving the problem?
My GMC have this error since 2 months and it cost me so far more than $700 and not yet resolved!

You are correct. However I have not had this issue return since this day 3 years ago
