2013 6.2L CHT Location Please

[TexasBlues]

Hey all-

My 2013 6.2 just threw its first code in 140k miles... P0128... Thermostat or CHT is the diagnosis...

I have purchased both and will replace both, however; I cannot find the CHT location...

Would anyone be so kind as to help me out?

Thanks in advance for your time!

The thermostat might be stuck open, just change your thermostat, leave the sensor alone until you have to replace it. Maybe @FordTechOne has some advice.

P0128 means the engine didn’t reach the required operating temperature within the specified time limit, which is based upon ambient temperature. That doesn’t mean the engine won’t reach operating temperature, just that it’s not reaching it quickly enough, hence why you have heat. The most common cause is a stuck open thermostat. Start with the thermostat and new coolant, especially if it’s original with the age/mileage of the truck. The coolant is only rated for 5 years/100k miles.

Mine just threw it’s first code as well at nearly the same mileage (144k), the same P0128. I deleted the code roughly a week ago and it has not occurred again (yet).
