If you don't break the sensor off you can replace the radiator sensor without taking the coolant hose off. It's a squeeze, but it can be done and you don't have to drain all the coolant.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2014 and it’s got the same AC off due to high temp and cold gauge reading. The check engine light turned on too. So I’m gonna change out that sensor along with the water outlet one and hopefully the check engine light turns off
@@Thatoneguyviner in total, I’ve replaced both sensors, the water outlet and the thermostat. It’s still coming up. Only thing that temporarily fixes it is disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. The gauge rarely gets to a proper reading. I’m gonna have to take it somewhere.
These cars are pure junk. My daughter's 2011 has constant problems and only has 61000 miles. Trans control module went out at 47000 and GM wouldn't help due to age. Thermostat went out at 50000.valve cover gasket failed at 55000 and was dumping oil into the spark plug wells. Now this bs
@@daniellipp2883 I've had the same problem. Changed both sensors and thermostat....still getting the error message and temp gauge is stuck on COLD. So frustrating. What did you end up doing??
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. For the 2014, the temp sensor is installed on the drivers side of engine & just below camshaft position sensor.
Was doing this for my car with my dad today and he dropped the clip because we couldn’t figure out how to secure the clip back on the temp sensor ☹️ rip learned some new swear words today

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Unfortunately no, we were short on time today so we are gonna see if we can get the pin out of the engine bay with a magnet sometime tomorrow, we got the sensor in but lost a lot of coolant in the process. Just hoping when we do get the pin we can secure it onto the sensor with out much hassle. I knew we should’ve done the water outlet sensor first because that radiator sensor is a little tricky to get to 🙄
@@jekisgod Thanks for the reply and by calling your local Chevy dealership and providing them with the last 8 digits of your VIN #, they can get you the exact replacement clip for your exact vehicle Sensor. Probably only cost just a few bucks...that’s if you can’t find yours.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders We managed to locate the clip and secured both the coolant sensors into place. However, when I was on my way to work today the AC off due to High Engine temp flashed back on. I had just replaced my coolant when we were working on my car the other night, come to find out it was basically all drained. Now, the leak seems to be coming from the passenger side, which means the leak is probably from either that coolant temp sensor not being secured properly, or the water pump. What do you think my next step should be?

Im sorry Michael Borders to keep putting my 2 cents out there to people but im very expierenced with Cruzes i love them too much and love helping fellow owners out. So foxman to give ya some info on this.. in simple terms the 1.4 setup on the cruze is such a well setup cooling system in such a tiny package that the heat you will expierence in these getting INSANLY hot is completly normal. The burning plastic smell your smelling is more than certainly the heating up of GMs wonderfly designed cheap plastic that consists of the heating vents and doors that open and close depending on where u want the air going. Nothing to worry about just maybe adjust the temp down a tad once it gets warmed up so u dont boil yourself. The coolant smell altho could possibly be a leak starting to show itself near your coolant resivour or oil cooler line but more than likely if its not very strong than its probably just evaporating coolant due to you having the heat up so high. Have anymore questions just lemme know!
@@brpiper14b my 2011 had a new radiator installed. Now, when idling the fan kicks on about every 12-14 seconds and it's loud and annoying, especially when I'm at a drive- thru.

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It’s very important to position the sensor itself properly into the radiator. In the event that the sensor is not shifted into the radiator insert properly, it will not go in all the way & seat flush internally. In this case, the actual clip will not be able to slide in & lock the sensor in place to create the water tight seal. We recommend carefully positioning the sensor into the radiator as shown in this video. Please keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

Interesting fact on my 2015 Chevy Cruze LT...the temp sensor is actually on the hard plastic line that the radiator hose hooks into and not actually on the radiator. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the intercooler on this model equipped with a turbo. Every video and picture I've seen online showed it on the radiator itself.
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Have you verified the sensor is installed correctly? If not positioned correctly, the sensor itself will not seat properly. Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩

Thanks for reaching out to us. Have you replaced Thermostat since owning Cruze? There is a sensor inside thermostat that can also trigger the symptoms however you have to replace the entire thermostat to replace the sensor inside.
Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders I did have the thermostat changed and after driving the car for about 30 minutes the air started to come on cold I hope the problem is fixed mechanic wants to tell me it's an electrical issue haven't seen anything online that states that.
@@leenorarobinson5886
Thanks for the reply & an electrical issue seems possible...🤔...if it’s solely referring to the electrical connection points & sensors.
Will this cause a wrong reading at the gauge
Replaced the thermostat a it had one on it too
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Great question, it most definitely can. 😎👍
How did you end up getting it fixed? Thanks
Anyone know the part number for the other sensor that he talked about
Good morning, just poured a ☕️ and am sitting down to answer any and all questions for the DIY community.
Below is a link to a video that shows the p/n of both the Radiator sensor as well as the Water Outlet Valve sensor.

so is this fixing the ac off due to high engine temp when my temperature gage says its cold??
also my fan runs constantly??
also what is the part number for the temperature sensor?
I'm about to do this and the pn of the one I have is SU13822
@@Hnbearor did you figure what it was?
@@sooflex15 I replaced both my coolant sensor by the radiator and my thermostat and it fixed the problem.
Hi my holden cruze cooling fan only comes on when the ac is on. Temperature gauge is in the middle. What could that be ? Thanks
My car is cruze 2016 model had recently changed the water pump and thermostat
Thanks for watching, looks like your engine is operating properly. Since it’s not overheating and engine temp needle remains under 1/2 way point, looking good. 😎👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you for the info, the fan works after long drive in hot weather today👍

That’s what we’re here for, we DIYers need to stick together!! 😎👍
Thank you so much
You are very welcome Ricardo, thanks for watching. 😎👍
I changed the upper sensor and now my a/c and cooling fan is not working
My son's 2016 is doing the same, a/c not working and fan doesnt turn on. Gauge doesnt show it overheating which is weird, what was wrong with your's?
I changed the radiator sensor and engine sensor still have same problem with loud fan noise
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. At this point, you may need to replace your Thermostat. Below is a link to our video showing replacement of Thermostat.

It's your fan resistor that it's located in back of coolant fan. Need to take whole fan off and replace it. Or try just replace the resistor.
Theirs also 5 relays and 2 fuses for the fan check those first.

Did u find i fix? i replaces radiator sensor & thermostat, still same issue
I am having trouble with replacing that clip on the sensor. What do I need to use?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. It’s very important to position the sensor itself properly into the radiator.
In the event that the sensor is not shifted into the radiator insert properly, it will not go in all the way & seat flush internally. In this case, the actual clip will not be able to slide in & lock the sensor in place to create the water tight seal.
We recommend carefully positioning the sensor into the radiator as shown in this video. Please keep us posted.
😎👍🔧🔩
I still can drive the car or no
I'm replacing mine because it is leaking from there. Does anybody know if I can just use some liquid gasket or something like that?
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. If new part is installed properly, you shouldn’t run into leaks. Keep us posted on your project.
Enjoy your day! 😎👍🔧🔩
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Yes got a new Temperature Sensor and installed it stopped the leak.

Very cool & we appreciate you taking the time to share this. Enjoy your Cruze!

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you
My next step is to purchase a scanning tool because I now have a check engine light on. Maybe you can recommend one or you can do a review on one?
@@TheAntsgood
Thanks for the reply. We purchased the Bosch 1300. Below is a link to our review video on it.

Interesting fact on my 2015 Chevy Cruze LT...the temp sensor is actually on the hard plastic line that the radiator hose hooks into and not actually on the radiator. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the intercooler on this model equipped with a turbo. Every video and picture I've seen online showed it on the radiator itself.
Thanks for watching & sharing this. Great thought, it’s possible...🤔
Don’t have an exact answer.
Replaced the radiator sensor but now when I add coolant it completely drains it as soon as I do so and starts to leak from that sensor
Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. Have you verified the sensor is installed correctly? If not positioned correctly, the sensor itself will not seat properly.
Keep us posted. 😎👍🔧🔩
Also make sure old gasket came off with old part.
We replaced sensor Friday. Drove car all weekend and same thing happened again Tuesday. Any idea why?
Thanks for watching & you may need to replace your Water Outlet Valve which has a sensor inside it. Below is a link to our video showing replacement of it.

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thank you for responding. It ended up being put in a Diagnostic Machine. Thermostat was stuck open. Are at least that was what we were told. Had it replaced today. Crossing our fingers that will fix the problem. Again thanks.😀

Hi Mike
Which greace shell I use on steering shaft on 07 camry ??
Please let me know 🙏.
Thanks for watching & we appreciate you reaching out to us. This will depend on who you ask.
Most people will purchase the standard grease from their local AutoZone. Please keep us posted on your project.
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks. I did lots of DIY work on my 14 cruze. I don't have that vehicle anymore. So thank you.
I didn't understand properly about that steering shaft greace. So shell I use white lithium greace ??

Thanks for the reply, we haven’t used lithium grease in the past, can’t give you a confident answer.

Hello what would be the part number for the top sensor sir
Thanks for watching, is yours a 2012 1.4L Eco?
If so: AutoZone- (SU13822)
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders it’s a 2015 Chevy Cruze 1.8 lt

Thanks for the reply, it’s best to check with AutoZone for the part number for your 2015. 👍
@@DIYwithMichaelBorders sorry it is a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze 1.8L FI DOHC 4cyl
@@gerardobaciliopozar9305
Thanks for the follow up, no worries. You can even contact your local Chevy dealership and provide them with the last 8 digits of your vin number.
They will be able to get you the exact replacement part number for your exact engine. At that point, you can either purchase part from local dealership or use that part number and buy elsewhere.

Real problem with the clip and sensor is pushed all the way in
