My wife just got home from work and she's having this exact issue for the first time.

2015 Yukon Denali, Coolant temp is pegged at 160, 45 degrees outside, trans temp is not hot either.

So I disconnected the battery, let it sit for 20 min.

Reconnected battery and started the truck up, coolant temp came up from 160 and the fan did not come on. Im thinking the coolant temp sensor had a freakout and the electric fans just fail-safe turned on. We'll see.

I did the same thing I disconnected the battery and the temp went up to normal and the fans worked the way they should but it started again and I don’t know what it could be

Have you found anything out? I replaced the coolant temp sensor, it worked for a couple months but started again.

I'm finding several electrical issues popping up on my Wifes 2015 Tahoe. I have worked through all of them to date and find Most issues come down to the electrical connectors at the plugs. I have also found issues with the crimped connectors on alot of the heavy positive and negative cables. To date I have fixed Dash going out, center console going out, fans running on High, seat sensors airbag, Battery negative cable crimps, positive cable crimps, alternator harness crimps and connectors, suspension harness connectors and a few more I have forgotten about.
All have been fixed the same way, checking the connectors, continuity testing terminal to terminal for shorts, cleaning them with WD, gently brushing the spades, a small amount of dielectric grease, plug and unplug them a dozen times. Few and far between is a recrimp on the terminal ends, it is much more common on 14gauge and up, the copper expands and contracts more and should be checked. It seems to work.
