@firstlast-pt5pp Месяц назад

hey man, im getting p0128. if it is the fan running alot even in cold temperatures what can be the cause, is there something like a fan sensor on the fan or something else that may need to be checked or changed. thankyou

@8020Media 2 месяца назад

Probably the coolant temp sensor - if the sensor is bad and sending wrong readings the fan might think it needs to stay on.

Got my thermostat replaced almost 2 months ago. This was after noticing my temp gauge stayed at the coldest position all the way left (2017 gmc terrain) and later the C.E.L came on with code P0128. A few times since, with a couple week space in-between each time, I noticed the temp gauge would stop working or stay at the coldest position for a brief period (less than a day) then start working again. Just yesterday the gauge stopped working again. And today the C.E.L came on. I scanned it and code P0128 came back. Also the fan stays on for a minute or 2 after the vehicle has been turned off (same thing happened the first time when thermostat was replaced) Could this be a faulty thermostat that I bought to replace the old one? Or maybe a sensor?

@8020Media 20 дней назад

T - It certainly could be a sensor related issue. Sounds like it is intermittently failing.

@tdoteastend2540 20 дней назад

Someone just told me could possibly be a small leak in the thermostat housing. Could this be a possibility as well?

@8020Media 19 дней назад

T - Could also be a possibility. However, the temp gauge fluctuating points to sensor.

@Ckimble 2 месяца назад

Does the code need reset or will it go off over time (after replacing thermostat)?

@8020Media 2 месяца назад

C - It would be best to reset, but it will go off after being driven for 50-100 miles if the issue had been addressed.

@maritesmhayayson8743 15 дней назад

Can we still use the car with this code?

@8020Media 13 дней назад

M - You can, but we wouldn't advise driving on it for very long. Make sure to stay on top of your coolant levels if you are needing to drive on it.

@Motorsports_3 4 месяца назад

Can p0135 and p0030 be caused by p0128?

@8020Media 4 месяца назад

M - It's possible.

@wandacaddell5013 4 месяца назад

Do this cause check engine light?

@8020Media 4 месяца назад

Yes, any sort of active fault code will cause a check engine light

@thaiebony 3 месяца назад

I have a 2019 GMC acadia with this code. Repairs at the dealership to change thermostat is $2300. 😢

@8020Media 3 месяца назад

T - Sorry to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience.

@matthewebel2960 2 месяца назад

Yep! I have a 2020 blazer that did the same. I said no way and changed it myself along with the temp sensor. Pain in the butt but worth saving that much.

@8020Media 2 месяца назад

M - Thanks for sharing your experience!

@jaydee5156 Месяц назад

Okay, let's assume that I've changed the thermostat. The engine is cold. There's new coolant in the system and it's also cold. How will the PCM know? What's going to turn off the check engine light?

@8020Media Месяц назад

You can delete the stored code(s) which will get rid of the check engine light. The other option is driving the vehicle until the engine is up to operating temperature. Once the ECU detects the problem is no longer present, it should automatically get rid of the code and CEL.
