2012 Chevrolet Cruze Temperature Gauge stays on cool even after driving, system says "coolant temperature -- Fahrenheit"

Asked by GymBro Jan 16, 2019 at 11:46 AM about the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze LS Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Temperature gauge in the vehicle is staying on cold even after driving.
Its also giving a message saying "A/C off due to high engine temp"

When I go through the vehicle information options to the Coolant
Temperature screen it says

"Coolant Temperature
  -- Fahrenheit"

The engine coolant was low in the car, so I filled it back up, and I'm still
getting the same messages.

This has been going on since last night when it first gave the "A/C off due to
high engine temperature" message. Its also been really cold here recently,
but I doubt that has anything to do with it.

Any ideas as to what could be going on?

Yes, this happened to me and you should check the sensor to your thermostat housing and make sure it's not a faulty sensor. Had mine replaced and works just fine now....
