Thanks.....but I'm not asking how to troubleshoot this...I petty much have it figured out. I am just wondering if it is normal for an intermittent glitch that causes a p0115 fault will cause the gauge to stop working until you actually reset the fault........even when the temperature is accurately reading in the ECM? Just seems weird that it would be programmed to disarm the temperature gauge until someone hooks up a scan tool and resets the fault even when the ECM is reading he proper temperature.
