Diagnosing and Replacing a Radiator Temperature Sensor in a Chevy Trax / Buick Encore 

Love the way you explain things and capture what is going on

Thanks so much for this video! I paid $42 for the sensor at the dealer and a friend and I put it in. Huge savings. 🥰Thanks to You

Chad got me together. My daughter came home from school fan was running when the vehicle was off. Went to dinner came back it was still running and the battery was dead. I watched this video picked up the part at AutoZone for 17.00 including the catch tray. Took me 10 minutes to repair. I appreciate the info.

Video helped me change this part. Same CTS location on my 2018 Buick Encore. Thanks for taking the time to make the video 💪

Really appreciate your time and info. Thanks 🎉

You helped me fix my car for just $15…😂🎉 Thank you

Why do they come with temp sensors if they dont come with a temp gauge on the dash instrument panel?

Thank you!

What kind of alltell scanner you have? I didn’t see link to Amazon on type you using. Thanks

Thanks-just what I needed.Just wish my hands were smaller. Other issue with our Encore is non start at temps around 15-20 degrees and lower. The colder it is the harder it is to start until it just won't. It doesn't sputter or run rough, just either starts or it doesn't.

Hey nice video. I’ve been trying to find that air induction you removed at the beggining. Do you have a link where to get it? Thank you

Hey Chad nice video. I’ve trying to find that air induction you removed at the beginning. Do you have a link where to find it? Thanks

Mine came up code P00B7 if I change the sensor do you think that would fix the engine light? Thanks

Does the radiator temp sensor control the high speed fan mode?

Hey, I also have a 2015 Chevy Trax and just recently got car repairs for the exact same issue..... now that my radiator sensor has been changed I also have a "change oil" message on the dash like you had... why is that?? Should I be very very concerned??

Explanation of testing a wiper system in a Chevrolet Trax, and how to replace a wiper motor?

a Question , could you tell me where is the relay for the fog lamps I know where is the fuse is the number 36 but to connect the foglamps to the original switch i like to connect the fog lamps to the fuse box relay insted aftermarket switch thank you

I do like that scanner, except for the price.

Any chance someone can tell me where the 2nd sensor is? I cant seems to find it

Hey Chad, I have replaced the radiator temperature sensor. However, I was told the engine temperature sensor is the same part. Where is it located. My 2020 trax is still overheating and I have replaced the water pump, the thermostat and two housings, so I am looking at replace the engine temperature sensor.

Is there any way that some car repair shop can fix the switch even if they had no tool/gadget that can trace or troubleshoot the system/engine?

What would be the reason this would be needed to be done to the vehicle ?

Having trouble putting the clip back in (as I speak) on the radiator sensor?? Help please!!!!

My 16 trax won't shut off the fan yet after driving 30 40 miles

Once my car is up to temperature, the fan will kick on but it won't shut off after that unless I shut the car off. The fans are not running when the car is cold, only when it gets up to temperature. The fan doesn't shut off once I reach temperature it just runs on low and then high. It's not overeating. I have an analogue water temp gauge and it's cooling the engine, according to the service manual, the fan should toggle back to the low speed at a certain temp. However, even after it reaches said temp, it remains spinning at high speed. There is no check engine light, therefore nothing for me to go off of. Could it be a coolant temperature sensor that's reading out of spec, but not so significantly that it would trip a code, but just enough for it to keep the high speed fan on?
