@@curtissmith5435 thank you for this information!

Have the same symptoms on my 2014 impala , so you swapped the CTS and then how you reset ? TIA

@@leonelgarza1101 I don't recall if it corrected itself or if I erased the obd codes

🤣😂🤣 Thank you! If this is what is wrong with your car, it is fairly straight forward. Let me know if this fixes your car. Thank you for watching and commenting.

@@DCAutoEnhancement You're welcome. I just watched this video lastnight but I'll get it fixed over the weekend. One moment my AC I working then after a few days it goes out and my guage sits on cold and my fan will blow even if I back up 2 feet in my driveway. Lol the engine light doesn't come on the guage just doesn't move.. but when the guage moves to its normal position that's when the AC works again.

@@WeekdayWeekend did you check your coolant level?

​@@DCAutoEnhancementit's visible right about where the manual says it should be, I can see the liquid in the reservoir. I'm having the same symptoms as others in the comments, my temp gauge doesn't go above minimum and my engine fan stays on for a few minutes after turning off the car.

@@WeekdayWeekend let me know what you find out

I'm glad it's worked out for you!

I'm glad the video helped! Thanks for watching!

That's awesome. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I hope it was helpful

Hopefully that's all it is. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a good evening.

Good luck with your repeat! Thank you for watching and commenting

Yes, it's possible that the o-ring fell off when changing it.

I do not have a v6 version to post.

@@DCAutoEnhancement the only video I’ve found on my model of engine the guy records his video in vertical, moves the camera too much, and his hand are constantly in the way. Right now I’m having a disagreement with a mechanic at work who says my car should have two temp sensors, but I’ve only found one, front of the engine the right of the exhaust manifold, and far left of the thermostat housing. All that’s beside the point I’m getting at. I’m getting an alert that says “Engine temp too high, turning off A/C”, no check engine light, but the instrument cluster not showing temperature, either through the mechanical gauge or the digital DIC. Additionally the cooling fans run for 5 to ten minutes after the car has shut off.

@@skullfracture3870 I just looked up the parts on the v6 and the 4 cylinder. I found two on the 4 cylinder and one on the v6

Absolutely, I hope it helped!

Absolutely, I hope it helped!

I looked back at the video, it looks like you just have to push down on the gray tab closest to you and pull. Sometimes it helps to push the tab and push the connector toward the sensor then back toward you.

It looks like it's threaded into the thermostat housing that the top radiator hose goes to behind the water pump. I found a very basic diagram at gmpartsdirect.com other than that info, I can't tell you much more, I haven't done one on that engine. Good luck.

I did not but, it is always a good idea to disconnect the battery prior to any electrical work.

It's been a while since I made this video but I don't think there is a need for a reset.

I tried to verify the number of sensors. Someone in the comments mentioned there were two sensors. One on the upper hose and one on the lower. I couldn't verify the accuracy of that comment though. I'll keep looking and I will comment here if I find that out for sure

@@DCAutoEnhancement so my malibu 2010 has 2 sensors?

@@j.2391 I couldn't confirm that, and I'm just now seeing you have a different year Malibu that this video was made for. I'll look again

@@DCAutoEnhancement ok

Without seeing it, I would assume it's not seated completely or I have heard some people have an issue with the old o-ring getting stuck in the hole and you just have to get it out before putting the new sensor in. Let me know if this helps or not.

If I remember correctly, it did affect the AC

Mine is showing no coolant reading and the ac will not blow cold, fans also stay on for a few mins after shutting the engine off.....

@@loganmarkey8774 most likely you have the same issue. Do you get the P0116 code also?

My AC started working again and was getting a temperature reading again… so the sensor was the issue. But I can’t get the thing to tighten. Even bought a new retainer.

@@brandonshaffer967 is it possible that the oring fell off?

@@DCAutoEnhancement​​⁠ Hey I appreciate the reply. I pulled it out to make sure the o ring was there and when I put it back I just used a lot more force, it’s not leaking anymore. I guess I wasn’t applying enough pressure? lol. This video was so helpful, thank you!!

@@brandonshaffer967 I'm glad it worked out

That is a good question. You might just have to look at it and compare with the video

Yes

What did I do wrong?

@@boogeymanwalker9184 I don't know if this is your problem but, that housing is made of plastic. You could have a crack in the housing.

@boogeymanwalker you just have to press down on the new piece and it will slip in tight and then you put the pin In the holder

@@JoseAguilar-gz6bz thank you for adding to the conversation!

Were you able to get the clip out that holds the sensor in place?

@@DCAutoEnhancement yup!

@@molten_software is it possible to get a pair of needle nose pliers on it at all? If not, if you have a pick, you could go in where the clip was and try to pry the sensor up. Let me know

@@DCAutoEnhancement i tried this today, the plastic just disintegrated. Good news and bad news of it, i started the engine and it blew the top off of the sensor, I can see the brass tube now, So im going to try to stick a bolt in it to extract tomorrow. Thanks again!

well, I got it out! really just the brass was left of it. new sensor in and engine temp isn't reading on the dash, fans still full speed at start. going to have to dig deeper in this rabbit hole. Thanks for getting me started though!!

Is it showing hot all the time, even when you know it's cold?

What was the condition of the wiring in the connector? That may be where your problem is. Mine was corroded pretty good. I think they sell replacement pig tails for those connectors because that is a common issue.

It looks like it's threaded into the thermostat housing that the top radiator hose goes to behind the water pump. I found a very basic diagram at gmpartsdirect.com other than that info, I can't tell you much more, I haven't done one on that engine. Good luck.

@@DCAutoEnhancement thanks bro

@@MySamiroo wish I could be more helpful

@@DCAutoEnhancement my sensor clip won't slip back on

The only thing I can think of is to make sure it's pushed all the way down and or that there isn't a broken piece of the old one stuck in the hole. Maybe look for a rubber o ring that may have slipped off of the old one.

I think these cars have two sensors. One up high and one down low. Have you changed both of just one of them

​@@DCAutoEnhancementWhere is the one down low? I just changed the one in the video, not sure if the pigtail is bad or not. Just curious as to where the lower one is located? I've been searching everywhere on Google and youtube. A answer back would be awesome and thank you for this video.

@@jamesmontana29 if you are facing the engine from the front of the car, it should be on the left side down low. Look for a large diameter pipe or hose, if I remember correctly, it will be right where the lower radiator hose connects to the radiator. I hope this helps, let me know if it does or doesn't.

@@DCAutoEnhancement I will definitely let you know, thank you so much for the response and info.

I believe I found the lower one, I'm holding out hope that the coolant temp in the video that I replaced was the issue. Temp gauge was dropping to c not reading any temp and the fan was constantly running with a obvious check engine light. I noticed that when I replaced the one in the video the fan was still running and the temp was still not reading. My question is would it have to take some cycles and mileage to run its course and the computer to pick up on it? I disconnected the battery it's obviously back to reading temp and no fan. Just hoping it doesn't come back
