Sounds like the coolant temperature sensor is bad or unplugged. Hope that helps! Jim

I have had the same problem. I got an oil change and air filter replaced 3 days ago and my truck has had an issue since.. Walmart mechanics said its a sensor( they must have jacked it up because it wasnt that way when I drove there... I am going to get it checked out at Oreilly or Auto Zone to see what they say

I replaced the sensor on mine a couple months ago when I started having the issue. It went away after a few key cycles and now it's back. It blows how air so I know the thermostat has to be closing at some point. Could it be stuck closed and throw this code?
