well, not almost like. exactly like.
what's annoying is that the ECM has oil temp to cross-check a low coolant temp and make a more educated decision and more accurate error code thrown. ie, if coolant temp sensor showed unexpected data, it could fall back on oil temp and say "hey, oil temp is fine or even low but oil level is good and oil pressure is good. T-stat must be stuck open ...lets not be an annoying pain in the ass and still let the user use the AC since this is an issue that wont damage the car really. " |

I’m constantly unplugging and reattaching the negative on the battery, I’m hoping my sensor replacement will fix but if not then guess I’m buying a thermostat and hoping that isn’t as bad to reach

correct, it doesn't trigger an SEL. But the code is there when you check with a tool, resetting the code gets everything back to normal ...until the self-test fails at some point again due to not reaching the target temp.

get a simple odb2 code reader/resetter (they're like 15-20 bucks) and reset the ecm codes. You'll see the temp reading fine again if the sensor is fine. The t-stats fail open and it seems to be fairly common once the car is 4-5 years old. But to change the sensor, you would probably do yourself a favor and take the t-stat off to reach it anyway. |

Sorry to hear you LGX owners got the shaft on t-stat placement. Reminds me a bit of alternator placement on the 4th gen LS1... and bolt placement on the steering rack...and number 8 plug...man I have such a love/hate for F-bodies lol

Oh yes how well I remember working on my 1998 SS! It was a pain in the ass most of the time.

Had the fans come on again today and now have a CEL. Watched a video on how to replace the thermostat. Seems simple enough. Anyone have the part number for the OEM thermostat? NOT the thermostat housing, just the thermostat by itself.

Low coolant temp is whats doing it, swap out the Thermostat with a GM replacement.

Had the same issue on my 2016 RS 33k miles.
Changed the thermostat and that fixed the problem. Hope that helps. |
