There is a p26c2 error in the car, how to fix it

Hello, I’m Pete from the Car Genius team at RepairPal. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this concern on your Chevrolet Equinox. Code P26C2 can indicate a fault with the engine coolant bypass valve to where it is most likely stuck. The most common cause for this concern is the valve itself as sediment tends to bind up the valve over time and mileage which can cause it to fail. This can also be caused by a wiring concern leading to the valve or an internal computer failure itself. The best thing to do is to have the bypass valve tested as well as its signals and wiring to help determine which type of a repair is needed. This is something that is usually best to have performed by a reputable repair facility where they can use their tools to perform the needed testing.
