Hi! I have a 2016 Prime, and the check engine light came on. Steady, not flashing. I plugged the OBD in and the only code is P0128. I ran the car while sitting in park with the OBD plugged in to see if it heated up and nope, looks fine. I want to check the coolant level, but I can't find the markings on the reservoir. It's the one that looks rather like a flying saucer. Can someone point me to where I should look, or should it be filled to the halfway point that looks like a seam? Thank you!! I want to take it in, but if it's low on coolant, I'd really rather not drive it that far without topping it up.

you have air in the system - insufficient water

How do I fix that? And again, where are the markings for minimum and maximum on the 2016 reservoir?
Thanks for any info.

I may be mistaken, but if i remember correctly, the marking for the max fill is on the passenger side of the reservoir, fairly close to the top edge before it makes the sharp bend towards the cap. I don't believe it was easy to see, but it should be in that area.

Thank you so much!! I'll look in the morning.

I just thought I'd update: The coolant was fine, thanks to Elemental Dragon for pointing me to the markings on the reservoir. Turns out the coolant sensor had gone bad and needs to be replaced. So, it's in at the shop. Hopefully they can do something about the service bulletin on the intermittent alarm at the same time.

And yes, I actually showed him the alarm fix from here, and it's perfect now. Runs like a charm again.

It would be nice if you can post more details about which coolant sensor had gone bad and replaced (e.g. part number), you know, for future reference.

 

[steveandtrapper]

Of course! All the invoice states is that it's the coolant temperature sensor, part #607-905-12-00. I hope that helps.

Behind and underneath the washer reservoir. Had to go to Mother Being since Big Wheel didn't have it. 1\2 5hr work and going again. MB had to cancel codes because O Reilly cleared for a guy and they paid for grenaded engine.
