Default 96 Temperature light flashes

My temperature light flashes when I start to drive and will flash for a little and then stop for a little. A couple minutes each.

The oil temp is in the middle and so is every other guage.

Anyone have a clue what is going on?

No codes thrown.

Im a little worried because I got a road trip soon.

Glad your coolant prob is fixed..but..the oil temp is in the middle? Really - as in straight up and down? That seems like it is way too high for this time of year especially.... unless you live in Hell or something.

Yea its actually not in the middle I was just pretty baked writing the op.

But thanks for getting me to double-check.
