- [18\-016\-13](/bulletins/10215810.md), 2022-07-18, Service bulletin: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\); POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE \(TCM/PCM/TECM\). This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module with new software. The Technician may discover that P0128 \- Thermostat Rationality DTC is present. This DTC is a two trip code and is matured if a significant difference exists between the PCM predicted and actual engine coolant temperature during engine warm\-ups. The PCM calibration may improperly mature a P0128 DTC because the airflow across the coolant temperature sensor during colder ambient temperatures, 50° F \(10° C\) or below, causes the predicted coolant temperature to deviate from the actual coolant temperature.
