    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.

    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.

    • @pre4122
      @pre4122 3 місяці тому

      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 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?

    @fatbastardwithabeard 8 місяців тому +6

    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.
