wrong temperature

[motrcop931]

The temperature displayed on the screen is wrong, is there anyway to reset it or any sugestions. thanks.

Is it perhaps showing C instead of F temps.maybe the owners manual tells you how to change that. Other wise it's off to the dealer for you

Mine was stuck at 69 while I ran errands for 45 minutes today. Maybe it really was 69 outside, however I thought it was odd is stayed 69 the entire 45 minutes.

Wifes new Chevy had an issue like that. Temp indicator loved 59 degrees. All the time.

 

Changed the sensor and the first day it worked like a charm.......quick readout of actual temp.

 

Then back to 59 degrees for the first 5 minutes of run time........then it reads correctly.

Its been like that for 6 months now.

 

Can you say......CRAP OUTSOURCED PARTS?

Yeah mine doesn't work properly when it gets below -30 Celsius. It's like it hits a wall and is like "WHY ARE YOU EVEN OUT DRIVING RIGHT NOW?" My '07 and '13 were the same.

did you unhook your battery for anything? If so... it takes about 20 min of continuous driving for the temp to re calibrate.

They have outsourced the entire trucks now.

69...maybe your truck was telling you something. Sorry...back to your regular scheduled forum.

I don't know? This morning, it was on 68. lol!! It's working now. It's up to 82 degrees. Like I said, maybe it was 69 degrees the entire time I ran errands yesterday.

If you didn't unhook your battery like GMC-AT asked, you probably should. Disconnecting for about 10 mins will let all the truck's electronics reset/reboot. Doing so has been known to fix some glitches... it may not work for you, but it can't hurt.
