FOUND: I inspected the vehicle and confirmed the customer's concern, that the check engine light is illuminated. Using a scanner I was able to retrieve a stored diagnostic trouble code. P0128 coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature. I perform necessary testing and found that the thermostat is intermittently staying open Recommend replace thermostat, gasket and recheck for proper operation. After talking to Christine she is going to purchase a new vehicle rather than perform repairs.

PERFORM NECESSARY DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND ADVISE:
FOUND: I inspected the vehicle and confirmed the client's concern that there are codes present in multiple modules. The commonality between these codes and the modules is the low-voltage condition that was present. I performed the necessary diagnostic testing on the vehicle electrical system and found the alternator output is erratic. The battery is unable to hold a sufficient charge, is leaking and the terminals are significantly corroded. Recommend replacing the battery, alternator and positive battery terminal.
FOUND:

DISASSEMBLE, REPLACE THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY, BATTERY AND POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TERMINAL END, REASSEMBLE, TEST FOR PROPER OPERATION.
I performed the recommended repairs to the vehicle charging system and was able to test drive the vehicle. During the test drive I found the engine coolant temperature is erratic as described by the client. I performed the necessary diagnostic testing and found that there is poor coolant circulation. I suspect the thermostat has failed. We recommend replacement of the thermostat.
I replaced the thermostat and found cooling system circulation has been restored. I again attempted to test drive the vehicle and found the coolant temperature varies from 220 to 250 degrees back and forth. I monitored the engine coolant temperature with a thermal scanner and found this coolant temperature is stable. I continued the inspection and down the coolant temperature sending unit has failed. I replaced the sending unit, test drove the vehicle monitoring the coolant temperature on the scanner and found the coolant temperature is stable. At this time the cooling system operational is nominal.
