On a 2013 Chevy Malibu you should let the engine cool before disconnecting old temp sensor. The sensor acts as a sort of plug for the coolant system. As in attempting to remove the sensor while the engine is still hot will net similar results as removing the radiator cap would. A lesson I recently learned the hard way.

I had the same problem and I ended up with a code P2097 and P00B7...I ordered the parts to replace my O2 sensors and changed my upstream and my engine light went off that night but came back on the next day and my car was shutting off while in idle...I still need to replace my downstream O2 sensor as well as my temp sensor but this video helped a lot with finding it and seeing exactly how to go about changing it out so I really appreciate the walk through.

I just replaced my sensor I’m having the same issue. My car is not overheating but I’m having that message pop up on my dash and the fans are consistently running. I just replaced the sensor and it’s still doing it. What else could it be? Still don’t have an engine light on plus my temperature gauge is not working on the dash out of nowhere. This all happened really sucks.

You'll probably need to clear the codes, un connect your battery for a few minutes and reconnect. If you still have the same problem be sure to check your coolant level is correct, also while you car is running see if your cooling fans run at all, if they do not run you may have a fan relay/fuse that's bad. (Not a mechanic but just a handy guy) 🙂👍

Yes I would try to replace the sensor first because it's cheap, if that doesn't work then a deeper issue may be present. Also make sure to check your coolant level in the radiator and not just the reservoir, there may be air in the system (only do this when engine is cold and NOT hot)

Hey there, so the best bet is to remove your radiator cap when the car is cold and fill the radiator directly with coolant then start the car and continually add coolant until it becomes full then shut the car off and fill the coolant reservoir tank also this will help expunge any air in the system while making sure your coolant level is full
