What to do if temperatue gauge does not move?
Temperature gauge does not move and the dash reads engine hot a/c off .Also after running car radiator fan stays on for 30 seconds. do not see any leakage engine does not smell hot took about 1/2 gallon of anti freeze. also day before dash was reading check stabilize steering.
Why is the temperature gauge on the dashboard not working?
Thus, the temperature gauge on your dashboard is your window into the coolant temperature as seen by the temperature sending unit. It lets you know when the engine is cool, at operating temperature, overheating, or fluctuating. The sending unit is a thermistor. It is exposed on one side to engine coolant.
How does the temperature gauge work on a car?
Its operating principles remain the same: A temperature sensor that reads engine temperature, and a display to show the temperature. Thus, the temperature gauge on your dashboard is your window into the coolant temperature as seen by the temperature sending unit.
Why is my car’s temp sensor not working?
The most common cause of faulty temperature readings is a broken coolant temperature sensor (CTS). The part, which is normally located near a vehicle’s thermostat near the base of the radiator (consult your owner’s manual or repair guide) can get gunked up and fail.
What should you do if your temperature gauge is not working?
The first thing you always need to look at with a strange reading on your temperature gauge is giving a strange reading is the actual temperature of your engine. Always rule that out first before focusing on the gauge itself. If you know the engine temperature is not an issue, you probably have to deal with one of these problems;
Why is my temperatue temp not moving from 160?
If the temp gauge is not moving from 160 it is not functioning. Gauge could be bad, sensor could be bad or Engine control module (ECM), which would control caution messages, could have a problem. A functioning gauge will usually read 210F as I mentioned above. If you notice further coolant loss it may be time for a shop visit.
Why does my temperature gauge read 30-50 ohms?
If the sensor reads 30-50 Ohms when the engine is hot then there may be a problem with the wiring back to the gauge or with the gauge itself. Make sure the engine is turned OFF and that the vehicle’s ignition key is in your pocket when you test the sensor.
Why is the temperatue gauge not moving on a traverse?
Don’t know about Traverses, but common issue on Silverados: If thermostat sticks open, engine doesn’t warm up as fast as the BCM thinks it should and gives you the engine hot, A/C off message. The STUPID thing about it is that it disables the actual temperature readout – Just when you want it MOST. hno:

How does the high pressure oil pump work on a DT466?
The high pressure oil pump that operates the injectors is fed oil by the lube pump through a reservoir in the front gear cover. When you start a DT466E after an oil change it will start and run for a few seconds and quit then after a few seconds of cranking it will start again and run the oil pressure gauge will start to move at the same time.
What kind of oil to use in DT466?
If you cannot find a CI 4 As an alternative you can use 10% 20/50 engine oil or 1/2 gallon of Lucas to every ten gallons of oil if you have higher miles. I would also check the injectors, the ICP sensor and the cam crank sensor.
