Torque should be able to see the P0128 code, it is an engine code. I'm just not sure if torque (the free version at least) can see and clear those codes. so if you do see the temp sensors showing realistic data, then it's just a matter of clearing the codes and the cluster should instantly wake up and start behaving (fan will turn off too). It's funny because the ecu will report and read the actual temp sensor data even while these codes are thrown and thus disabling the gauge clusters. You have to clear those codes (which dont result in a CEL, and dont show up on normal basic blue tooth code scanners) and then everything will magically work again unless there's a real problem with the sensor. I have an x-431v device and it seems that once a code is thrown regarding the engine temp sensor, the car wont retest the sensor on next startup or even the 5th next startups. My car did the same thing after a rather jarring crappy road. I have a regular usb dongle for the ODB, I may take look into the BT version. Since there is a short of GM parts currently due to the strike, my dealer cannot get the part until. It stopped working 2 weeks ago, then started working again like 12 hours later. The P0128 code doesnt trip the light until I think the 3rd reported malfunction. If you can get your hands on a BT dongle then you can use the Torque App to read the engine sensors and see what the actual sensor reading is and or the codes that are stored. If it trips code P0128 from a stuck open thermostat or from someone putting a lower opening point stat than the OEM 192° thermostat and they didnt tune out the P0128 code it will kill the gauge and turn the fans on.Ī bad coolant temp sensor that the ECM relies on will cause it to go into fail safe as well. There are a couple of fail safes that will cause the ECM to kill the gauge and run the fans. While the coolant gauge in the cluster is dumbed down some on what it shows, the coolant temps you can read from the OBD2 port are live and 100% accurate. Have you changed out the thermostat by chance? Will replace and hopefully it will be this simple. Torque should be able to see the P0128 code, it is an engine code.Just had to order a coolant sensor as noone in Georgia has it in stock. Cant find anything online, only for the v8 model. Fans running on full blast, figured its the CTS since my AC still works fine.

Does anyone know where the Coolant Temperature Sensor is on the v6 model 2016 camaro. Just had to order a coolant sensor as noone in Georgia has it in stock.
