Chevy Cruze AC Off Due to High Engine Temp

This is how I fixed my 2011 Chevy Cruze with error: "AC Off Due to High Engine Temp"
I bought my temperature sensors here: goo.gl/3KVVAE

I have recently had two of these lovely vehicles come into the shop I work. after throwing temp sensors and thermostats like everyone had suggested, I performed an update on the pcm and no more problems.

How do you update the pcm?

[@beaualexander2731]

@@Hector2495 i can't nor can the shop I was in. But the dealership we use to outsource to "said" they were able to update software programming. I do not know for sure if this is true or a dealership line of crap to scam more money out of you. However, when we got the car back after "software updates " didn't have any more issues

[@dondassinger6202]

Thank you Michael Callos! The 2013 Chevy Malibu 2.5L has two sensors in the same arrangement as you describe and show on the 2011 Chevy Cruze; this one on top is even is you have shown, same, but no need to disconnect that large air-flow tube on 2013 Malibu 2.5L. The cold side, at the thermostat and lower radiator hose takes the steps of removing that bottom plastic splash guard or splash pan, on the Malibu, I think - didn't have to do that one. 13.00 and I was all set, - had the A/C is disabled, High Engine Temp warning light, and cooling fans ran even when the car was turned on, then off, engine still cold. $13.00 and all is good again! Maybe I should have purchased an extra retention clip, as I did drop mine and it took an additional 30 minutes and use of a magnet-pole device to recover and reuse the retention clip. Thanks Michael Callos! Keep on doing the videos. Thank you very much!

[@MichaelCallos]

You are very welcome!

[@ericporter7303]

Hey Michael thank you very much, I love my Cruze and the fan was running crazy , I bought the sensor and that fixed the problem thanks for the video again from a newly retired US.Marine (Eric)

[@KitchenCartel]

It’s usually the sensors or the thermostat housing and fresh anti freeze for both

[@greimer1358]

Thanks Michael. My wife and I both love our Chevy Cruzes.( 2014 & 2013 1.4LT Turbos) . My AC warning appeared on my way to work. Temp gauge intermittent instantaneous swings between off/high/normal. Engine sounded normal. Coolant levels ok. Cabin heat ok. Watched your video. Ordered AC Delco part (gold pins) from Amazon. 24 hours later it arrived. Replaced in less than 45 minutes. Didn't need to remove hose.(1.4L T) Good tips. Dropped the clip once but remembered my flashlight under the hood before the test drive. cheers.

[@theexplorerstales]

George Reimer hi there just asking did you have check engine light and traction control light on before changing the sensor?

[@dsregart]

My 2011 Cruze had the same issue. I had the 1.8L engine, it took all of 10 minutes to switch out. Make sure you buy the correct sensor, there is one for the engine and a different one for the radiator.

[@Pete391]

Actually there are 3 sensors...One in the radiator, one on the water outlet and one in the thermostat outlet...

[@uniquemedia9073]

So which one is for this problem?

[@TheBigHomieHumbl]

Just fixed both sensors on mine , turned it on and still had the problem , cruised it around the block and everything still didn’t work , went to my local O Reilly’s and asked if they can clear the “Coolant” code and drove home with full blast A/C moral of story this video helped and saved me a bunch of cash 👌🏼

[@TheBigHomieHumbl]

It was a tight fit for the radiator sensor but getting underneath it was much simpler

[@TheBigHomieHumbl]

Also my radiator fans were loud as fuck so that’s another way to tell , I didn’t want to change one sensor and see if it worked so I changed both at same time only costed me 43$ American

[@mougougeki]

Everyone make sure you take the negative side off the battery to reset your warning lights for the sensors to be ready.

[@Rebel1280]

I have a 2012 Cruz that is giving me this error. All I do is connect an OBDII reader i bought off of ebay and use Torque Light or something like that and reset the code while im driving and it goes away. I have a new thermostat and housing, thought about replacing both sensors but so far this band aid has cost me nothing and doesnt seem to adversely affect the motor at all. As im not sure what the problem is 100% i will most likely stick with this resolution until i can afford all new coolant and both sensors and just replace them all at the same time. I have already replaced a Coolant Hose Flange that was cracked. Symptoms: OBDII code im getting is P0128 Temperature gauge shoots up to C and stays there OBDII reader is showing my temp running at 190-200 about 30 min driving around highway speeds (70s)

[@patrickc8493]

Thank you for the vid, I had the same problem today and did replace the sensor; all messages cleared! Back on the road...

[@arcadesunday4592]

For me, this dash warning was caused by a faulty thermostat. My car is an Opel Astra but the same engine as most of the Cruze models. You really need a cheap diagnostic tool to help you determine where the fault is. In my case I got that dash error, but my reader showed code P0128 (engine UNDER operating temperature). For me, the thermostat was physically stuck open / jammed open and the engine never reached operating temperature. Especially noticeable when driving on a freeway. The temp guage actually goes from normal (90) DOWN to 1/4 hot. Sitting in traffic, it comes up to correct temperature. Strange dash message as engine (in my case) was too cold, not too hot. Error showed after about 30 min of freeway driving for me. Hope this helps someone.

[@sashalavonne3302]

How did you fix it

[@arcadesunday4592]

@sashalavonne3302 replacing the thermostat fixed it (for my particular issue). Thermostat is cheap (ish) and super easy to replace. I installed an aftermarket one which has been reliable. I use "OEM replacement" parts for anything that is easily accessible. Does your car show similar signs?

[@betsyrafferty]

Nice job! You made it look pretty simple. Like the editing you did.

[@ricgreen3234]

Thank you, much easier on a 2013 once you figure out which sensor it is. I had to reset the computer after replacing it ( I just unhooked the negative cable off the battery and shorted it to the positive) and all is now fine :)

[@davidmahi8248]

Thanks a lot great easy fix. I thought it didn't work because the message didn't go away but the next day I checked and it was gone!

[@professionalhater8808]

I'll shed some light on this even though it's very old the fix is the thermostat housing the sensor in the thermostat housing bleeds coolant through and shorts out the plug so if you unplug that and see antifreeze there that is the issue it shorts out the sensor reads full hot tells the computer to turn on the fans to preserve itself and then you'll eventually get a p0128 because the fans dont allow the engine to warm up so the fix is actually the thermostat housing regardless if the thermostat is still good it's the sensor in the housing that is part of the housing no other sensor not on the driver side of the head not in the radiator because if you get a p0128 that means those two sensors in the radiator and driver side of the head are good the one in the thermostat housing will trigger the AC off due to high engine temp

[@melissat3442]

i had the same problem we checked out the video and we replaced both censurs that wasnt the problem, so i took it to the mechanic and put in the computer it Turned out to be THE THERMOSTAT... It was getting stuck when it would open i believe it was just bad So WE replaced it That was the proBLEM 2011 chevy cruze... Chevy CRUZE THERMOSTAT the part was about $60.00

[@amairanyt2332]

melissa t was your temperature gauge stuck on cold ? Instead of hot?

[@MishalxIrfan]

I had this message pop up on mine, but the needle was not marking at all and the coolant temp just shows "- °F" not marking at all. The engine is not hot and everything feels warm like normal so I'm not sure what my issue could be. I have not tried replacing sensors, but maybe that will fix my issue. The guy who originally fixed the problem said it was water pump, so it was replaced, then the message showed again so he replaced thermometer and messaged came on again, so I took to electrician and he said it was just a reprogramming issue so he reprogrammed it. And here I am again with the same messaged popped up again. Thanks for this video. I am going to replace this part now and hopefully it will be my last expense on this vehicle!

[@Alejandra-cv7rj]

My Cruze doesn't overheat anymore I drilled 3 holes on the thermostat I've had enough problems with overheating and this worked for me the housing is intact Incase your wondering. The car still warms up properly and never goes pass 220 anymore. Unfortunately my problem is related to something else if I leave the thermostat to factory specs it doesn't open even when the car overheats it's not fuse, sensors, I'm down to ecm or some ground I can't find anywhere or a wire. Wish thermostats would go back to how it was many years ago when it was all mechanical no electronics. Problems I've had are mainly issues with the thermostat not opening as it should have been replaced 5 times in the last 4 years.

[@TheDarinw40]

Though this didn't solve my problem it was very helpful as I did replace them in my vehicle. I also replaced the relay which also did not solve the problem. I ended up replacing the thermostat as well as the cooling fan for good measure. Ultimately the problem was resolved and from all of the research I had done it could have been any of those which caused the problem because all of those were factor into the vehicles computer misinterpreting it as running hot.

I have a 2012 and i had the same message come up intermittently and when it came on my temperature gauge would go just a little bit above the halfway point. I messed up yesterday and open the coolant reservoir to add more when my car was still hot and it was steaming and boiling. I filled the reservoir and as soon as I took off down the road the temperature pegs all the way to the top as hot. I stopped immediately and let it cool down and managed to get to the next exit and I bled the lines. That seems to have somewhat fixed it but now the temp is going over the halfway point qnd i am having to run it with the heat on. A couple things, even though the coolant in the reservoir was boiling and steaming when i was bleeding it it didnt fewl very hot. Also last night while driving it the temp was mostly staying just shy on both sides oof the middle as long as i didnt turn off heat, but when i checked the temp of the coolant thru the computer it said the the coolant temp was 139.

Just so y'all know please be sure the temperature sensor that runs to the water outlet is tight and does not move cuz when I replaced my water outlet I noticed it was fluid leaking from mine and kind of find out if it moves left to right or all the way around that means it's not the right dimensions made for that outlet and you need to go spend the extra 13 bucks and go buy one that's snug and fits and tight may have to tap it in there it might stop leaking but always be sure you unplug your battery terminal cuz if you don't it takes a few minutes for the computer to realize that the temperature sensor is inserted cuz I had the issue where it said AC was off due to high temperature I let it cool down I reset the battery plugged it back up and ran the car again in the engine was fine come to find out I thought I had a faulty temp sensor and it wasn't but mine went straight to cold not too hot

[@byrdieguevara5870]

This just happened to me last night. Coming home from work. It’s a less than 20 minute drive to work from home to work and work to home my car only rest four hours at work, so how would I be able to drive it to work today and come back home and fix it tomorrow would that be OK or do I need to fix it right away like today?

[@codyjudd2125]

Did you use gold pin connectors for both locations?

[@laurakibben4147]

I beg to differ. I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze 1.4L Turbo, standard model no cruise control, etc. that I bought with 17,500 miles on it. It now has 242780 MI and has 99% been maintenance-free. I've done the oil changes nowhere near regularly, I gave up and had the timing belt and water pump changed at 174000 and it didn't even need to be done and I have put rear shocks on it and that's it besides the obvious sets of tires. As soon as the weather breaks, I'm going to change the valve cover gasket and the plugs and one other part in there and I need to find out why service Stabilitrak light keeps coming on but otherwise, great little car!

[@williscurry6557]

The 1.4 Turbo has a timing chain. U said u changed a timing belt AND waterpump. I have 260,000 miles on mine. My cruise control is on 85% of the time. I cant imagine driving without it.

[@chaconjohnson]

when you got the notification on the AC was your temp guage also stuck on cold, even after the car has been running for a while?

[@MichaelCallos]

No it was normal temp

[@yeseserrato]

Chacon Johnson...mine is stick on cold right now and I got the notification that he shows in the beginning. Have you figured out what the problem is?

[@molonlabe23]

mine does same thing

[@khaledkazemi]

Hi, have you fixed the issue you had with your car? I facing this issue from today, I changed the sensor for the engine, but didn't work. the temp gauge is stuck on cold and AC is still off and the msg appears when I turn the car on. I only changed one of the sensors cuz the one by the radiator is a bit hard to have access. Thank you

[@karinareyes8469]

Hi my car is currently having this issue with the needle going to cold and having that same message did you happen to figure out what it was ?

[@simbawizbeth]

Hey man, this really did help. Are both sensors the same?

[@MichaelCallos]

Yes they are

[@justinfever9787]

How the heck did you get the harness off on the radiator sensor? I can barely get on hand in their?

[@CalBouton]

Did you buy 2 of the same sensors to be placed in both location (radiator/coolant sensors)? Or is there 2 different parts? Your link only shows 1 temp sensor, so I am guessing I can use the same part in both location.

[@MichaelCallos]

You are correct. Same part.

[@Juanita_RoCa]

was the temp gauge on cold before you changed the sensors?

[@MichaelCallos]

familylupusandme You mean did I wait until the engine was cold? yes

[@Juanita_RoCa]

Michael Callos no. I meant if your temperature gauge was on cold rather than hot. I had the same problem and my gauge said it was cold but, we followed your video and it resolved the issue. thanks 😊

[@MichaelCallos]

familylupusandme Oh. no. my gauge was in the middle. Glad to hear you were able to fix it.

[@devinmungo3846]

familylupusandme I have this issue how did you fix it

[@MichaelCallos]

check with dealer for recalls first.

[@brintbailey2319]

get it fixed? my wife's did this today, it's leaking coolant and the thermostat needs replaced

[@richardmarohn1637]

When this came on your dash did ur temp guage keep moving around also up and down?

[@donnythagod7573]

Richard Marohn mine affects my “AC off due to high engine temp” , engine light and my temp gauge don’t work . it shouldn’t read if your sensor is bad because that’s how it can tell how cold or warm your engine is .

[@donnythagod7573]

i have reset my codes just to see if the sensor itself was bad and it got rid of ALL those problems . lights and or temp gauge not cooperating . but they came back the next day so i know i need to change either one or both of the sensors .

[@CC-hn6ug]

Have you had a lot of emission issues. I have and I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze ?

[@Eleanormbarrios]

i have a chevy cruze 2013 and we think the issue is that it is the fan thats not working properly becuz it doesnt really go on. its been overheating when coming up the cajon pass hill and we change the water pump and it wasnt that cuz there was no leaks.and the coolant in the resevoir is filled up to the top but still no fan so when coming home and parked on the drive way we unplugged the fan and plugged it back in and the fan turned on and so while it was on it said AC TURNED OFF DUE TO HIGH TEMP n the gage was down and coolant fluid went down and wasnt as high and it dropped a little so do you have any suggestions of what it may be if it is the fan or maybe the temp sensor.

[@harishreddy8921]

It really helps for me, may I know how much cost for sensors.

[@garysmith8712]

I cannot find the radiator temperature sensor for sale.. I found the one linked in the video

[@adameldard5003]

Was it leaking coolant before you replaced the censors?

[@kggod3531]

Did your car shoot up to the hot like to the H??

[@mikemunson2158]

When you had this problem did your temperature gauge not work?

[@uvumerer]

yes stuck on cold

[@miamiSincar]

change the thermostat too
