Thank you
The coolants not hot enough ? Did you say Auto Zone or "twilight zone" ?
Better take it to the dealer, could be the thermostat. If you have heat, the coolant is hot. How can the coolant not be hot in a running engine ???

I was thinkning the same. If the "coolant not hot enough" triggered a CEL, then it would come on every day when you started it up.

Fluid low, yes. Not hot enough? Strange.

I took it to the Dealership on Wednesday morning and they said the same thing that Auto Zone said, It's the Thermostat and they have to order the part, No one in the Chicago Land area has one due to the HHr being so new. I will have to take it back on Friday to replace the Thermostat. I have fond out that by the Thermostat being bad effects alot of reads outs on the dash computer system. Its says COOLANT -------F, Temp read out is off , and other reading are out also. I will inform you all on Friday night, wish me luck!

Okay here is what they did as per the paper work. My son took it in for repairs. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TEMP GAGE INOP AND NO COOLANT TEMP READING CAUSE: INOP (1) 90537453 THERMOSTA (1) 12346290 COOLANT
FC: 1H, PART# 9053743, and now the Dang HHr is now repaired.

All they did was put in a new thermostat and reset the computer. per say.
