- Chevy Cruze. AC off due to high engine temp. Let's change the thermostat and sensors.
Let's get some heat back in our 2013 Chevy Cruze.
Let's replace both temperature sensors.
Let's replace the thermostat and housing.
There are 2 sensors on this Ecotech engine.
One at the water outlet valve and one at the radiator.
1.4 liter eco tech engine
2013 Chevrolet Cruze
Chev Cruze with no heat.
Temp needle not moving on my Cruze.
Cooling issues on a Chevy Cruze
Easy fix.
Thanks for sharing time and effort dedicated to maintaining the Chevrolet. Cruze and getting it safely back on the road.
You are welcome Sir !
This was a great video tutorial. I have the same issue with my 2012 cruze and I've ordered the parts. Thank you.
You are welcome. Glad it helped !!
I'm glad you could get your car fixed Stephan 😁👍 Take care 🔧🔩
Thank you !!!
FYI, the two sensors have different part #'s. The lower one is AcDelco 5591002. Upper one is 5591401. You need 3/8 id hose, about 2/5 ft, to drain the radiator.
Cheers ! Thanks for the feedback !
Just tried to purchase the parts online, and it said they do not fit my vehicle (2014 Cruze LT)
Can the Cruz run without the thermostat
@@princeleon257 And why would you want to do this? The thermostat allows the engine to come to a healthy operating temp and is a fairly inexpensive part. I suppose it would run without one but it won't run well and may cause poor performance.... The computer will think the car is warming up the whole time and.....just.dont so this!
Thank for sharing this, I have the same problem..
Hope it helps
Thats fit on Aveo Thermostat heater and back on this part ECT engine coolant temp. sensor.
Yes more of part numbers on chevrolet. I thing diffirent assembly parts supporter to reason.. so many fixer say to me '' not fit on your car! '' but its fit... so confusing.. Allone surfing material on parts with VIN number and see diffirents sockets pin and visual diffirance between parts....
Thanks for the video
Glad it helped, feel free to share it with anyone with a Cruze
Just so you know the thermostat housing is now available in Aluminum 39 dollars and so is the coolant housing on drivers side 24 dollars the plastic housings always crack and leak
Thank you ! I did not know this.
Very nice job ..... i see a check engine light...your son's going to have a very dependable car when you're done......
Thanks Anthony, always good to hear from you ! Yes getting there. The check engine light is still on. If it's an o2 sensor I can live with that. The list of codes is going down lol
Should I get the whole should be is it actually good stefan is he heat and everything working
Yep. Thermostat and new sensors. New coolant, all good 👍
Did the fan also turn of when the AC off light came on? Mine does
No fan stayed running
Didn't watch the video because it seems like he immediately went to the shotgun approached and fixed everything while overlooking the most common problem.
These cars are notorious for having leaky reservoirs. If the antifreeze is low it will affect the temperature gauge which in effect affects the air conditioning and heat.
First thing I would do before ordering any parts is fill up the reservoir to the designated level which in many cases sells all the problems.
That's a good reason to go to the dealership or someone who only works on chevys, fords, etc. They work on the same cars and know what the most common problems are months or years before they end up in a recall.
Would you smell any freeze if any of the sensors or what not is not running for the a c off light
No. The sensors can go bad but there will be no smell of anti freeze. You will smell the anti freeze if the sensors care leaking
Your on board computer will tell you Ac off due to.......
Fixes are either the sensors or the thermostat. I did both sensors and the thermostat. In my case the thermostat had failed. Sensors are cheap so I changed them also as they were 10 yrs old
When you change the thermostat you have to drain all the coolant and if you don't, when you change the thermostat air gets in and when you fill the tank with coolant do you have to remove the air? or not
Yes you have to remove the air. Once you top up, run the car with the cap off. The air will find its way out. Put the cap back on.
Check it again the next day
@@pstreetgarage7304 thanks for your advice
@@juanzubiaga1161 I'm glad it helped !
I'm helping my sons friend with his cruz. Everything is ok now but a few weeks ago it overheated and he got the ac message for engine to hot. Briefly, I thought the thermostat might have stuck. He added a little antifreeze at the time and turned the ac off. The guage went up but never made red. I figured the thermostat stuck closed and plan to replace it if it happens again. Its been three weeks. Any thoughts
I used a lazer heat reader and watched it today. Everything seemed to work fine. Fan turned on and off as temps rose. Turned ac on. I could see the temps risong and falimg as the thermostat opened and closed
Thanks for any thoughts
My thermostat had failed open. As a precaution I changed both sensors. Was good for a time but the thermostat failed again caused by a bottle of stop leak I put in the system. Will be posting that video in a couple of days. Always something with these cars
Check engine light p2076 code. Fixed the sensor and arm now I’m getting this warning on digital screen😢 trying to get car going for my son
You might just need to reset the codes with a scan tool. Sometimes disconnecting the battery can get rid of some codes.
I've been chasing engine light! Changed both oxygen Sensors, radiator temp sensor. Next this sensor by the battery. 90% restored. This car was poorly designed!
Yes. Hideous. Good on gas though
what are the part numbers for the sensors
They are in the vid. I'm pretty sure. It depends which brand you get. Don't get the cheap ones from Rock auto as they use the same sensor for both. Both positions have different sensors although they look the same
6:38 Did you put the O-ring back on new one❓
Think it comes with it
@@pstreetgarage7304 on the video ,it didn't show it and it kept leaking.😅😂😂 Lol
So my 2014 Chevy Cruze is saying that the ac is off due to high engine temp but the car isn’t over heating ???
Try and get the codes reset see if it goes away. Check your coolant level. Make sure your cooling fan comes on
Hey, idk if you have the same issue, but my AC works fine at times, and then it goes warm, with -40F on my radio screen.
Changed my AC pressure switch and still nothing, any clue?
Sorry have not come across that one yet
I have had many issues with this car. If you get to the bottom of it please let me know
@@pstreetgarage7304 Yeah I am speaking with a mechanic to try and get it fixed. I will let you know!
try ambient air temp sensor i ran into this problem before with ac not turning on cause ambient temp was reading real low
Which sensor do you put into the engine and which one do you put into the radiator?
If you order the set from rock auto they are the same. I ordered them separate. Water outlet will have one number. And rad will have an other. The dealer claims they are different
@@pstreetgarage7304 i bought both from advanced auto parts. And i just purchased the thermostat. Hopefully the thermostat fixes the issue. The temperature gauge is on cold and the fan cuts on soon as you start the car.
Do you know what the part numbers was for at advanced auto parts
@@alizaalexis5429 advance will let you know they both do the same thing. Also i ended up changing the thermostat that was the issue.
@@alizaalexis5429 I don't remember. Just specify which sensor you want.
Water outlet or Radiator. Their system will tell you.
I have a 2011 Chevy Cruz RS turbo and I've replaced the radiator, hoses Reservoir and the terminate and heat sensor at the top right of the engine and its still running hot any suggestions from anyone would be much appreciated
Blockage ???? Thermostat ?? Fans coming on ?? Correct coolant level ??
@@pstreetgarage7304 I'm not sure were the blockage would be. It runs at the normal temperature for 9 miles or so and all of sudden the temperature jump high and sometimes the temperature goes back to normal just as fast.Thanks for your comment helping me. If you get anymore ideas let me know if you don't mind. Have a great weekend my friend.
@@mitchellmarcus4843 Sticky thermostat ???? Have you changed it. They are cheap plastic and also incorporate a sensor. It's easy to change out
@@pstreetgarage7304 Yes I've changed the thermostat, heat sensor, radiator, hoses and Reservoir with GM parts.
I have same issue now, Cruze 2016 LS , does the AC work after you changed the thermostat?
Yes. Dont understand the warning. could be the sensors. If your temp needle doesnt go up its the thermostat
It have replaced it before . This time I replaced the sensor but a/c doesn't engage and temp gauge is on 1/4 sometimes goes up to mid which the normal but when i drive in highway it drop down to 1/4 or less. I replaced the whole housing in 2021 because it's plastic and has a crack. What I'm going to do is to replace the sensor and i will put back the old thermostat in . So hopefully it fits.
@@emadgrabel3444 Hopefully it works !
@@pstreetgarage7304 nope didn't work. I replaced sensor + thermostat all fuses relay are good, but no A/C . Made little test, I made wire and connected to small lamb , i removed the A/C compressor plug and connected there. No light, started the car and turned the A/C on then the lamb lit. That means theres electric goes there but compressor not engaged. Might be a/c clutch or whole the compressor. I will go to junk yard and get used one .
@@emadgrabel3444 Probably clutch. Let me know the fix
Good video PSG. Did your heat return or work after the fix? Thanks for sharing :)
Yes. Full heat, temp gauge and all. !!!
@@pstreetgarage7304 🔥🛠👍😊
If you replace the thermostat don't buy the junk plastic get an aluminum upgrade thermostat
I heard they were just as bad
If I leave the air off, can I stoll drive the Cruze?
Yes. Still drivable. Mine was
I checked the reservoir and no coolant. I put Prestone antifreeze in and let the car run. It seems fine with the AC on.
@@hueyseale4253 ok great
Why is the check engine light on
@@cozofcat9170 that is an emission thing I can't be bothered with. Cat, o2 sensors. Typical nonsense.
Swapped all sensors, thermostat, and thermostat housing and still getting A/C off due to high engine temp. What else could it be? I have a 2014 cruze
Fan working/ coming on ??? Try clearing your codes ?
Test don’t guess
