Hello,

The code P0128 can be triggered by a faulty thermostat, low coolant level or other coolant system issues.

What drivability issues are you experiencing? Is it running cooler than it should?

I have attached the troubleshooting steps for code P0128 below. Go through those steps and it can help to figure out the issue.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
