EDIT: I checked a couple of FSMs for the charts for diagnosing this code. Step 1 in both is “replace thermostat.”[/quote]Correct. Hence, my whole question. Checking both the CTS and thermostat is trivial, but “a lot of work” in sense that I have to get brand new gaskets for the thermostat and doing either of these requires me to replace the coolant again (which again adds the risk of introducing air into the system).
[quote=”dtidman” post=160217]Air id the cooling system usually leads to overheating, the P0128 is an under temp[/quote]
Yes, but just as an engine running without oil will show lower temperature on the gauge, I am wondering if air in coolant can cause the same effect?
[quote=”c918″ post=151271]Yeah you can buy a quart of brake fluid at walmart for like $7.[/quote]
Exactly. it takes me an 20 mins to replace the brake fluid with new. So early morning weekend and $10 and I’m done.
What’s all this measuring and hygrsocipic and litmus test and electric tester?
Why bother?
Please look at your field service manual. It will specify both by age and mileage.
Most fluids loose their additive properties with time and need to be replaced by age or mileage.
[quote=”gmule” post=159252]That screw is outside the repairable zone and that tire needs to be replaced because it is at the end of its serviceable tread depth.[/quote]
Unfortunately this seems to be the right response OP.
Did you rotate the tires often?
Please attach video.
Alternator might not be charging battery enough so it depleted slowly over time. There might also be phantom leakage.
Best is to get the CCA of the battery checked after full charge
Even if you do the minimum (just signup and send a friend money), you get $10 which makes the ETCG premium subscription just $5/year: http://www.ericthecarguy.com/premium-content-streaming-etcg-content
Isn’t that a great deal! :cheer:
