- Hey what's up everyone! In this video I go over how to replace the water outlet coolant temp sensor in a 2013 chevy malibu. It was very easy to do and only was about $20 for the the new sensor at autozone. In Most cases this will fix the AC off due to high engine temp message on your dashboard, will fix the coolant gauge not moving, and will also fix the fans running while the vehicle is off. Hey what’s up thanks for stopping in to watch this video!

On a 2013 Chevy Malibu you should let the engine cool before disconnecting old temp sensor. The sensor acts as a sort of plug for the coolant system. As in attempting to remove the sensor while the engine is still hot will net similar results as removing the radiator cap would. A lesson I recently learned the hard way.
I just replaced my sensor I’m having the same issue. My car is not overheating but I’m having that message pop up on my dash and the fans are consistently running. I just replaced the sensor and it’s still doing it. What else could it be? Still don’t have an engine light on plus my temperature gauge is not working on the dash out of nowhere. This all happened really sucks.
Did you figure out what was wrong? I just got the exact problem today and I'm hoping it's just the sensor.
Did you figure out ?
@@isaacvillanueva777 for me it was the sensor. But a month later my car stalled on the freeway and it's having transmission problems. So I finally moved on from it.
@@isaacvillanueva777did anyone figure it out yet,?
I had the same problem and I ended up with a code P2097 and P00B7...I ordered the parts to replace my O2 sensors and changed my upstream and my engine light went off that night but came back on the next day and my car was shutting off while in idle...I still need to replace my downstream O2 sensor as well as my temp sensor but this video helped a lot with finding it and seeing exactly how to go about changing it out so I really appreciate the walk through.
Hey no problem! If you still have trouble feel free to come back and comment and I'll do my best to help, if you wouldn't mind subscribing I would totally appreciate the help in growing my channel! 💓
Thanks. I just hope I put the sensor in all the way. Felt like there was a little wiggle room. So far so good! Saved me some $$. Much appreciated
With the beginning of this video you got yourself a new subscriber waaaaaaaaaaazaaaaaaaaaaaa
Waaaaazzzzzuuuuuupppppp 👻
Thank you sooo much…that’s exactly what my problem was lol…got the part today and fixed it MYSELF…thanks a lot 💯💯💯
Hey you're welcome! Subscribe for more help in the future 😉😀🤟
So did you run a scan , and was your check engine light on ???
Wazzzzzzup!!! Nice work...great video my dude
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately for me this car continues to be a curse. Tge plastic housing the sensor plugs into is completely destroyed it broke apart into pieces. So whatever that thing is I need a new one. This car has been a nightmare
My Malibu started showing this notification today. I touched the top of the motor it was cold i had been driving for 30 minutes. Is there a specific code I need to look for?
Thanks for the video my man 💪. Just changed one out
good video, thanks.
Putting that clap back on is a pain in the ass for me 😂
Was the hardest part for sure .wish it stoped the problem my car still doing it have no clue what it is
I've changed the sensor twice and the connector once and still have the AC off due to high engine temp code with the fans constantly on
Did you ever figure out what it was? I just changed my sensor and the stupid car still doing the shit trying to figure out what to do.
It was the thermostat, but that triggered other problems. But he AC off due to high temps went away
Great video. Had same problem. New sensor fixed it. Old sensor crumbled apart when removed. Thanks for the help.
Glad I could help! 🙂
How’d you manage to get it out when it crumbled
@@T.A.24re read his commen 🤦🏻♂️
How did you separate it from the wires because my gray tab broke and crumbled
Will that make the engine stop overheating or does it do that because of the sensor ?
For the metal clip. How did you get it on, I’m breaking everything around the clip and it’s just hard to get back on. Help!
looking for the same response lol
How long did it take for the “AC off due to engine temp” to go a way on the dash?
Disconnect your battery and reconnect it
This helped me a lot thank you buddy
Just replaced this sensor & problem was not fixed. I have not disconnected the battery to reset the car however. Any recommendations?
Hi just wondering Was this causing your car to overheat?
Just changed mine. It was a pain in the butt to put the clip back in. I inserted the sensor in first and put the clip in second. You need a some pressure forcing the silver clamp back around the sensor so it can lock in place.
Yeah it was tricky for me too! I hope my video helped though 🙂
@@horsepowerhangout Yes it did. I appreciate it.
I'm having an issue with my temp gauge on the dash not movi9ng and the coolant fan still going after turning the car off. Just bought the sensor yesterday so I'll have my mechanic replace it so I won't screw anything up...
Did that fix the issue? Having the same problem
@@alexbryant8624 after a few days the temperature gauge began working and the fan shut off when I turned the car off . I guess the car reset itself.
@@alexbryant8624 So his car went into self reboot mode, how did your situation turn out? Same issue with my 2015 Malibu
Hey when your turn ac off signal came on , did you do a scan on the car and if so what came up as the problem code ???
temp was normal n okay after replacing both sensors then bacc to the same 2 days after fixing. not sure why? ac off due to high engine temp. stays on cold. ineed to continue going to wrk n payday isnt here yet got few mre days will it b okay??
You'll probably need to clear the codes, un connect your battery for a few minutes and reconnect. If you still have the same problem be sure to check your coolant level is correct, also while you car is running see if your cooling fans run at all, if they do not run you may have a fan relay/fuse that's bad. (Not a mechanic but just a handy guy) 🙂👍
Can I do anything to get my car home? Just a quick fix just to get it home and you get me off the side of the road with this problem.
Do not attempt to do this while the car is hot, keep in mind vehicle fluids become extremely hot when in use. Best bet is to get it towed.
Thanks dude! 🤘
So the old one broke inside how can I get it out?
I see you guy talking about "High engine temp would it be the same if it's the same P00B7 but it says Engine Coolant Flow Low/Performance? Fan stays on for a couple of minutes after I turn the car off as well! I have a 2013 Chevy Malibu LT 2.5
I would check your coolant level first 🙂
@@horsepowerhangout I appreciate the advice but I'm not 1 of these little irresponsible millennial kid's that just drive until the wheels fall off. I definitely have have coolant in it. 🤣
Lol I got you fam, I had to replace my coolant tank once before because it developed a hairline crack so maybe a very slight leak, or if you've ever used a stop leak product that could be an issue, this list could go on and on but I would start with researching sensors or code cause directly on the web 🙂🤟
I have the 2013 chevy malibu ltz and my car is having the same problem. I was told to replace the thermostat. Once i did that it was still overheating..my air comes on but after a couple of minutes of the engine running, it turns off due to high engine temperature
Once i turn the car off the fans still blow for bout 2mins.. was your car doing the exact same thing or something similar? If so then maybe i should replace mines as well!! Plzz respond as soon as possible
Yes I would try to replace the sensor first because it's cheap, if that doesn't work then a deeper issue may be present. Also make sure to check your coolant level in the radiator and not just the reservoir, there may be air in the system (only do this when engine is cold and NOT hot)
@@horsepowerhangout if you dont mind me asking how do you check your radiator coolant level? Because yesterday i bled the system from the bottom were the radiator is but im not sure if i freed it from air
@@horsepowerhangout and how do you release air from the system? Would i have to flush my coolant out again to do so?
Hey there, so the best bet is to remove your radiator cap when the car is cold and fill the radiator directly with coolant then start the car and continually add coolant until it becomes full then shut the car off and fill the coolant reservoir tank also this will help expunge any air in the system while making sure your coolant level is full
I replaced that sensor last night and can it be possible for coolant to seep out
Yes it can if the sensor is not pushed in fully
Great video!
I do however need to purchase and splice in the connector you are holding in your left hand at time 2:38. Any recommendations on a site that has that connector? Checking them all but they look different.
Please let me know!
Thank you!
Rock auto
@@Sixcteen I couldn't find it at rock auto. I ended up buying one on eBay. Worked great
Got the Same car 2013 chevy malibu 2.5
Got the code of P0128 so I replaced the coolant senor waterfront & the thermostat housing.
Ran the OBD again & same code popped with another code P0597 (Thermostat heater control circuit/open)
Did I do something wrong?.
Did you try clearing the code after the new parts?
I dealing with this A/C off due to high engine temp now, and engine temperature is where it’s supposed to be but it completely shut off my A/C, do I need to change this sensor and the one by the radiator ?
I would try the sensors first cause it is probably the cheapest fix, for future reference always try the cheapest fix first before getting to more expensive parts/labor
How did you get the clip bk in? Also what happens if you try to put the clip bk in but it pops away and you can't find it?🤬😤
Hey there the clip can be a little bit tricky, a pair of pliers or a screwdriver might even help get it in. I understand and I've spent plenty of time with magnets & flashlights trying to find pesky clips and screws that have fallen off somewhere.
But worst case scenario if you lose it you should be able to find a replacement clip at your local automotive store.🙂
@@horsepowerhangout Man I appreciate the help. I eventually found it and made a successful repair. Thank you sir
It doesn't work. Code comes again after may b 3 or 4 days
Had you Tried the one that’s on the radiator?
I have a weird issue with my 2012 malibu ltz, the radiator vent is running constantly and the sensor indicates that the car heat degree less than medium, i have no idea if my car is overheating or not
Yeah that was also an issue I had, start with the cheapest fix and look into your fan relay in the fuse box, the relay could be bad causing it to stay on
Replaced sensors and fan still on and a/c turned off due to high engine temperature
Thankyou
Do you still have this car and how is the transmission running since you changed some of the fluid?
Still running great! I plan on doing a whole flush soon.
Did this but did not fix the problem
I can’t push the metal clip back in 😩
Try a pair of needle nose plyers
Had the same issue it’s hard 😂
Ac off due to high engine temp the car sound like it’s on when it’s completely turned off :/
Sensor is leaking now. Any tips?
Hey there! I would check any rubber gaskets or threading issues that would prevent a proper seal.
I'm having this problem too. Just swapped the sensor. Didn't fix the problem 😔
Did you swap both sensors?
ihave the same now. it was okay for almost 2 days n now back at the same.
I replaced both sensors as well as bled the coolant and refilled.. also changed the coolant tube thing. is it a thermostat part issue? or water pump?
Sometimes it's just a fluke. Use a scantool to erase and see if it comes back on before going through this process. Codes or no codes, a scantool will erase this.
Yeah it's always worth trying but for mine the sensor did indeed need replaced 🙂
That is if the car isn’t overheating. If it’s actually overheating it will be other issues.
Always crucial to get codes scanned prior to find this out.
