Started her up to find this message. The coolant gauge continued to be stuck on zero after truck should have warmed up.

Sensor/wiring fail? I could see how “no coolant temp read” could mean “IT MUST BE HOT AAAAAA” to the computer’s tiny brain.

It’s a coolant sensor, IIRC. One of our 6.0 work trucks had the same issue, and I think that was the issue. For the time being, unhooking the battery and hooking it back up will temporarily reset it.

Good to know, I have the 6.0 too.

I would definitely fix it, but we put hundreds of miles on ours in the dead of summer with this issue and it was fine.

For some unknown reason my mind went to a Pontiac Vibe.

At least there are those scalloped chrome rings so I’m not entirely off base, but still, they’re not very close.

And yet the Vibe’s dash is really just a Toyota Matrix with some bluish white gauge lighting.

I realized right after I posted.

Did you deliberately go and get photos of both interiors with manuals? Manuals can’t be the first thing that pops up when you search for Matrix and Vibe interiors.

I was looking for a sufficiently high resolution shot of the overall dash, and there happened to be a manual for both flavors of the car. The first generation actually was pretty commonly manual.

Either the sensor or the stepper motor behind the needle. GM trucks are pretty notorious for them going bad. Does it needle sweep on startup?

Look at the message, I think it’s just the sensor.

Also what isn’t notorious on gm trucks, the engine block?

Yeah but I would like the a/c

Oh I know, but I’m just saying you are good until you can scan it/fix it. AC will kick back on when you remove the battery.

Good call, missed the message in the DIC.

Was it an intermittent issue? It went away today.

It’s probably been 6 months and 50k miles for me of driving something, so I don’t really remember.
