Check engine light from new member!
Hello! decided to go all American starting this year; so when my Audi A4 lease came due, I decided to get a 2019 Dodge Charger Daytona 392. I love the car.
I've been doing some minor mods just to get my feet wet and I changed the coolant thermostat to a 185 Mishimoto as recommended in some of the forums. It's been fine for the last 200 miles or so. Yesterday, I got a check engine light with the code P0128; apparently a thermostat error. I had gone out in a hurry and, of course, accelerated rather quickly to start my errand trip.
How can I remove this light? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Save me a trip to the dealership...
Thanks!

great way to create a sludge build up in the motor...run it with a cold stat. water is a by-product of combustion...let the engine run at the temp designed to evaporate it off...water and oil = sludge. put the factory stat in it. cold temp probably will worsen the mpg too.

yep. he just cleared the code. its a rationality code. the pcm monitors the coolant temp after a cold start...the pcm knows that with a specific run time... the coolant temp should rise to a set number...if it doesn't get there....it thinks the thermostat is stuck open.
