Why is my temperature gauge not working on my 2016 Camaro?
Having the same issue with my 2016 Camaro. After a few short 30 mile trips coolant gauge stops working and fan runs full blast. Reoccurring issue last couple of weeks. Have to disconnect the negative battery cable to reset. Added coolant, which wasn’t needed and also replaced relay. Looking for answers.
Why does my car’s temp gauge keep going up?
Not knowing if the sender is reliable it defaults to fans on, in order to prevent a possible over heat. Change the T-stat. and while you are there change the sending unit as well.
Why does my car keep running at a low temp?
Perhaps the computer suspects the temp sending unit is unreliable. The engine should be warm after running a few minutes but this is not being indicated by the temp sender. Not knowing if the sender is reliable it defaults to fans on, in order to prevent a possible over heat.
Why are the fans running on my traverse?
I did not bother to investigate it any further since my wife found a traverse that she wanted at a price we could not pass on. agree with drunken elvis and speed freak suspect the engine coolant temp sensor may it failed or wires cut or plug damaged the default of unreading signal from ect is to run electrical fans continuously by ecm.
Why are the fans running but not the temp sensor?
The issue is in the temp sensor circuit. The fans running is because the ecm does not see a temp sensor so it assumes a hot condition. If battery disconnect solves the problem it is resetting the ecm (engine control module; i.e. computer). I will try it as I thought it would be an ecm issue. I have the same problem. I replaced the temp sensor.

How can I tell if my coolant temperature sensor is bad?
To diagnose the coolant temperature sensor, you need a repair manual for your car model to find what measurement values you should expect from the coolant temperature sensor. Connect an OBD2 Scanner and look for related trouble codes. Check the live data to see the temperature from the sensor.
What causes an engine temperature sensor to go off?
1. Faulty Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor. The most common problem when it comes to a faulty engine temperature readings is the coolant temperature sensor itself which is sending the information to the cluster.
Why is the temperature gauge on my car not working?
Check a wiring diagram of your car to measure the wiring correctly. The next problem is a faulty temperature gauge.

How many temperature sensors does a car have?
Some cars have two temperature sensors, while other car models have one. The models with one sensor usually both use the engine control unit’s temperature and the same sensor for the gauge. If your car model has two coolant temperature sensors, one is used by the temperature gauge, and one is used for the engine control unit.
