No, they do not make such. You can buy a higher rated thermostat that will stay closed longer and open at a higher temperature, but it is not a good idea to change from manufacturer's recommendation. Check with the dealership first.
It could be stuck open, but keep in mind with cold weather it will take longer to warm up the engine. I would first try a new thermostat specifically for your car, and see if that helps.
You need to get the system scanned to see what's throwing the code that's triggering the engine management light. You can get a free scan at some auto part stores (like Autozone) or you can go to a shop (but they'll usually charge you an hour labor to scan the system)
Connie this sounds like your thermostat in the engine is stuck open not letting the water stay in the engine block to heat up. The fix is to replace the thermostat with a new one that will allow the water to stay in the block to warm up. The typical symptoms of a stuck open thermostat is that the air will blow somewhat warm but never hot in the winter time, but it will take a few miles for the air to warm up at all. I would check with the dealership and find out what degree thermostat to replace it with. I run a 180 degree in the summer and a 195 degree thermostat in the winter just to have hot heat in the winter. I hope this helps
Hi, you just reinstall the scanner software and then try. OR If your scanner in the warranty then replace it because this is the major problem in the flatbed scanner.
