What ohm reading of these temperature sensors verify that there bad or need replacing?( Mine seams to be a stable rise until it reaches the 170 range then it will bounce from 178-180-178-181 type temperature on the dash screen, which I've read if it goes up and down it's going bad?)

My dealership checked it via a ohm reading when they replaced the wiring harness and said it tested in the "ok" range but I'm having weird shifting which is a symptom of a faulty temperature sensor also,but I'd like to know at what ohm reading is it bad enough for them to consider bad and replace it?

I'm not sure if this paperwork from dealership is saying they replaced temperature sensor ( because it is a part of the 2 wiring harnesses they replaced or is it separately connected somehow to a different wire?)

After watching a couple videos of "wiring harness"  replacement it looks like the temperature sensor is molded into this harness?

So when anyone says they replaced both harnesses in the tranny it's automatically a new temperature sensor?

Ok ask for p/n and ask them if it's all one piece ( harness& temperature sensor) or can you individually replace each part
Will do, I'll talk to them on monday. Truck should be done monday and if so I can post my invoice.
Have you seen these videos?

Yes, but they don't say if the temperature sensor is removable from the harness or in other words if you replace the harnesses you automatically replace the sensor b/c there one unit?

It looks that way to me
Only one part number for the harness and it fixed the temperature sensor problem.
Although I have a new problem and the truck had to be towed back to the dealership because they are idiots i guess. Hopefully it was enough to burn the tranny and they can just replace the damn thing. Feel like they at least owe me a free truck wash at this point lol.0ab4daeaaf389b91dc9bc660e639b4ca.jpgeafdd7f4fa6ffce323595b1a351195b9.jpg

Hmmm, it's enough to drive ya crazy and never want another...(been a Chevy fan my whole life but losing me quickly with just one truck that seams to have gremlins)

It's odd b/c when I picked up my truck they told me they didn't replace temperature sensor but looking at the part numbers they replaced I don't see how they didn't( or wouldn't for that matter if they went through the trouble of installing 2 new harnesses and flush/ fill) why on earth would they keep the old temperature sensor in use especially since they showed 2 codes(po700)(po711)???

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
