Just came on a couple days ago, gave me the code 0128 Coolant Temp Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature.

Anyone else ever have this problem? Is it save to drive?

Thanks for your help!

Re: check engine light on my 03, I got the code 0128

oops, ya I mean 04...duh.lol

That was my first assumption, why so much to fix though? I gotta go see where this thing is located. Sounds pricey for a thermostat.

Thanks for the reply, I haven't noticed it taking longer to warm up or any warm up issues. The guage did seem a little higher than normal. I think it usually sits 1/4 the way up but right now it's sitting in the middle.

maybe that's why it's so much then. might not be easy to change.

It ran out all ready. I just took it in for service and they wanted like $50 to just put in on a scope. Freakin BS if you ask my. I have a ob2 reader and got it in 10 seconds. I told them If I couldn't fix it myself I will bring it back too them and I won't have to pay for the scope if I have the code.
I am going to disconect the batt and see if it comes back.

ya, most places I know charge that too. I was suprised but knew I could do it for free. I was also suprised when they said I could give them the code to use for there reference

i agree but if I was working on the car I would want to pull it myself, just so your not working on somthing that has nothing to do with the problem and you waste all your time on someone elses diagnostic.

I unplugged it and it has beeen gone for days now. Guess it was nothing. Good thing i didn't waste my money at the dealership.
And thanks for all your advice sdemo45, Seems like you where the only one that would help out.

WOW, another reply, I was beggining to think this site didn't help anyone.lol

Thanks for the reply. It is an auto and 04. Heat still pupmps nicely but I have noticed the milage getting worse. So you say I just need to go in and get my computer updated? Does that cost an arm and a leg?

I guess I'll just leave it for now and hope it doesnt come back. my heater works pretty good.
