P060?

This started about 200 miles ago, give or take 100, about a week ago:
  1. The fan stays on after the vehicle's shut off... for about 10 minutes, give or take 5? I didn't think much of it because of this heat wave for the past week;
  2. The temp gauge on the dash is sitting a little low, a couple marks below halfway...during a heat 🔥 wave of weather;
  3. I pulled a code and then cleared it (it popped up right after they ghosted up my vehicle...) and I maybe wrote it down incorrectly because the o'reilly's said they couldn't find the code, which I wrote down as p060. So, I'll wait for the CEL to pop up again and recheck it;
  4. I was low on coolant...during a heat wave. Coolant added. I'll hope it feels better tomorrow and get it in for all that asap.

If coolant is low, in the reservoir, check at the filler neck under the rad filler cap. If there’s air there you need to burp the coolant.

that p060 isn’t a valid code.

There is a digit missing from the code and maybe the letter is wrong. Error codes are in hex, so there might be a letter at the end. like P060D.

The fan should only run after shutdown if the temp is over 240F.

Something is wrong.

  2. The temp gauge on the dash is sitting a little low, a couple marks below halfway...during a heat 🔥 wave of weather; Temp gauge on the dash is not very accurate on these cars. Get the actual temp from the digital gauge in the DIC.
  3. I pulled a code and then cleared it (it popped up right after they ghosted up my vehicle...) and I maybe wrote it down incorrectly because the o'reilly's said they couldn't find the code, which I wrote down as p060. So, I'll wait for the CEL to pop up again and recheck it; Yes. You probably wrote it down wrong.
  4. I was low on coolant...during a heat wave. Coolant added. I'll hope it feels better tomorrow and get it in for all that asap. Coolant doesn't just disappear or evaporate. You have a leak or it's burning it out the tailpipe.

You should use the DIC to monitor the coolant temperature, the guage is not accurate.

ghosted up my vehicle? What are you talking about?

I guess either the software is messing with us or 2 of us did the same thing at the same time.
The original was tacked onto the end of a totally unrelated thread.

You mean post #3 ? I still see it but looks like the 140 got edited to 240.

Yeah. This whole thread went "wacko" for a time.

Somehow the 2 posts that I removed from the original thread got put into 2 new threads with the same title. I merged the 2 threads and did edit my misteak.

Now, back to your usual programming.
