Actually I didnt. It was after installing everything I was doing some tests with the gds2 software and this image popped up. Thought it was interesting so I added it to the pictures I uploaded. I would assume gm must be using Linux somewhat in the system for this to show up.

That was my biggest hope and why I did this. I couldn't find anything that helped much when doing research beforehand. Hope it helps at least one other person out.

I do have a vxdiag so im hoping I can check the sensors before digging in too deep.

Has anyone else been into theirs or even has this issue? Car is out of warranty and I live a 4 hour drive from any dealership.

Do you happen to know where the temp sensors are on the drivers side? I'm having issues on my driver side now that summer has arrived here in Texas. I'm thinking mine is a temp sensor because it does eventually get cold like the passenger side but after about 90% of my commute back home from work.

There are 4 total temp sensors. Two for each side of the vehicle. One on the floor vent and one behind the stereo display. Floor one shouldn't need any removal of any thing to get to it. The one behind the screen with obviously need that removed first.

Would need to check them with a gds2 scanner to be sure that's the problem though

Thanks for the info squish. You wouldn't happen to have any photos or the part number for the sensors would you? I'm sure I can find it once I get under there and look at the one on the floor vent just getting the time to do it is the hard part. I might check the actuator under there as well even though I don't think it's the problem because I don't hear any strange noises like I did when the one went out on my impala's passenger side.

I do not have any of that info. In one of my pictures with with my dash torn apart you can see one of the sensors still in the duct but its not a clear picture but all I have. I do lean to that not being your issue by the way it sounds but for your sake I hope it is.
