    If it's a Detroit the low coolant sensor frailer is common and will give you a "shut down or we'll shut down now or we'll shut you down message".

    Unplug the electrical connection to the coolant sensor at the reservoir and see if that makes any changes.

    It's worth a shot. I've seen this even on 2020's.

    I am not a mechanic!

    That's if some one asks which brand is best to buy new.....i reply"which dealer has the best service in your area or along the lines you mostly run"

    I just had a helping of this.

    Bad chassis controller. Cracked inside someplace.

    The dude was a super nice guy and worked very hard, but blew the programming.

    Totally whacked the on guard and abs.

    So when I got it back to Phoenix, $600 and a few hours later it all works as advertised.

    Here is an update! After a week of downtime i got my truck back on road. Dealership at Lansing MI fixed it in 3days. The evil thing ruined my week was “DEF doser block”. They replaced it and performed scr test, than regen. Everything is ok so far.
