20

Asked by kimmyk Feb 04, 2019 at 11:21 PM about the 2010 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The car is keeps telling me turn off air conditioning
due to overheating but I just started the car and air
conditioning is not even on it also is bogging down
on me when I try to drive and it's telling me that I
need a new gas pedal and then the next day it's
perfectly fine so I think there's a short in it
somewhere how would I find it

One of the 5 volt reference wires that is shared between the two probably has a short to ground on it. When its acting funny someones gonna have to backprobe the coolant temp sensor or the app sensor and take a reading and then trace the short if it has one.. even those temp sensors dont share extenal wires internally it still comes off the same 5 volt regulator
