Orlando Overheating Check Engine Light
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Chevrolet Orlando diesel is experiencing overheating, a check engine light, and coolant leakage, with a smell resembling a pressure cooker. The issue may be linked to a communication fault in the control unit, possibly due to a corroded connector or faulty cable. A suggested solution is to inspect and clean the connections, and if unresolved, seek professional repair, which may involve a minor cost.

Yeah, I wiggled a few cables, but didn't see anything obvious. Where exactly did you find the bad connection on yours? Was it giving you a specific diagnostic trouble code?

Honestly, I didn't find it myself. After messing with it for a day, I gave up and took it to a workshop. I'm not much of a mechanic. Turned out it was a corroded connector on the control unit. Like a clogged artery, it was limiting communication. They cleaned it up, charged me a small fee, and I was good to go.

I appreciate the info! I'll check the connections more thoroughly, but if that doesn't work, I'll bite the bullet and head to the shop. They reckon it's a defective cable or plug connection of the component and will cost about 95€. Thanks again!

Sounds familiar. I've got an Orlando too. Had similar symptoms a while back – check engine light, overheating… Drove me nuts. Did you check your connections? Could be something as simple as a dodgy cable or a loose plug causing the data link to flake out.
