There are a couple of reasons. Try in the following order: 1- disconnect battery, both terminals, touch both cables together (disconnected from battery) and leave them like that for 15 seconds. Reconnect positive to positive, then negative to negative. This is called a "hard restart". 2- update software for your vehicle 3- replace cluster.
thanks very much for this ill try it. so just curious did you get an error on your old cluster where it said 888. Also since the temp gauge is dysfunctional how did you determine the car was not actually overheating when the cluster showed full bars was it because the fan did not come on? Just so I can also run the test at home thanks
This happened to me this morning on my way to work. The C and H completely disappeared and then came back on but then started to overheat. Will look into replacing the cluster..
It would show normal at startup, a minute later it would show overheating. After, only the middle portion would show and at times the H or C wouldn't show.
You would have to make sure the temperature being displayed is not correct. For example, your temperature shows all the way high, but your scanner is showing normal operation temperature. If your displayed temperature is high and the temperature displayed by the scanner is the same, do not dive it. You will overhead your engine.
I have 2002 Honda Civic ex 1.7L... I changed my radiator all new hoses.. and I changed the coolant temperature sensor and the coolant temperature SWITCH... but my temperature gauge is still not working what could be the problem?

my car does the same thing where it goes up slowly; great video!
That means it needs a new motor

Hello, Great video explanation! When your temperature gauge goes up, did you get an engine code displayed on the cluster?
No engine codes
It’s is common to see a code, but it’s more likely a temp sensor that’s actually bad for you or wires
Maybe the tube's of the radiator are older and when you press gasoline they swallow and close the pass of coolant. Need to change the tube.

I wish you would show how you replaced the cluster. That looks hard !
Not hard at all, everything is hold on by clips and a few screws
Was your old cluster showing the gauge in between the cold and hot and sometimes not showing the C or H ?
It would show normal at startup, a minute later it would show overheating. After, only the middle portion would show and at times the H or C wouldn't show.
At times only the middle would show and yes the H or C would desapear at times.
@@avpautomotive6337 so exchanging the cluster fixed the problem?
@@ceelos2175 yes
@@avpautomotive6337 thanks
Is a thermostat
My upper cluster flickers even when the car is turned off and all locked. What could be the problem. I use civic 2008.
Is it draining your battery?
@@avpautomotive6337 yes, it drains the battery. Once it begings malfunction, ill take out battery head.
Mine goes up past halfway but doesn't overheat.any suggestions
That is normal
Is it safe to drive long distant with my car like this

I changed my it's giving the same problem
Mine does this but no signs of over heating

Nmatay yun pwesto ko jan.how?
What is the name of that part…..I can’t find it
What I replaced was the temperature cluster.

When you say is not working do you mean it doesnt move ?
@@avpautomotive6337 correct... but when I switched it back to my old sensor it actually worked which is weird
@@Mrunknown711. you might have a bad new temperature censor.
@@avpautomotive6337 mines went from the hot an cold guage to 0 to 50 kml
