If you're seeing error code P0128, also known as code 128, it typically indicates a problem with your coolant temperature control system. This is a common code that can be triggered by various issues. The main culprit is often a faulty thermostat that is either leaking or stuck. Other potential causes could include low coolant level, a malfunctioning engine coolant temperature sensor, insufficient warm-up time, or problems with the electrical connection to the sensor. It's important to address this issue promptly as it could ultimately lead to your vehicle overheating, which is not good for your engine. Good luck and make sure to have it checked out soon!

    I experienced an issue where my car had an error code of 128 and wouldn't start at all. However, this morning, it started up without any problem and the error code disappeared. What could be the issue here? Is it safe for me to continue using the car? I am feeling anxious about this situation.
