its probably just a bad sensor. You can get one cheap at napa or where-ever
Look for a brass object with a two wire connector screwed into the intake near the thermostat housing.
The thermostat on a 2004 Chevy Venture is changed by draining the radiator, removing the upper radiator hose, and unbolting the thermostat housing. The old thermostat and gasket can then be removed and replaced.
I would have to say, change the thermostat in it.
Hi,The coolant temperature sensor is location very close to the thermostat itself, but that is hard to find or get to also. If you follow the top radiator hose back to the engine, you will see where the thermostat housing is, very close to the throttle body. There sensor is just forward of the thermostat housing.I have included a link to a page with shows where to the bleed valves are located, and the bleed valve that is close to the thermostat is also very near the coolant temperature sensor. In on of the pictures you can see the wiring at the top of the sensor. It is a tight fit, but you can get in there.Good Luck, GregP.S. The pictures in the link show a 2001 Venture, but the engines in these two different years are identical and the locations are the same.
The 2003 Chevrolet Venture coolant capacity is four gallons. The coolant can be mixed 50 percent anti-freeze and 50 percent water.
The thermostat on a 2001 Chevrolet Venture 6-cylinder 2-wheel drive car is located where the radiator hose ends. A replacement thermostat for a 2001 Chevy Venture is priced between $8.00 and $11.00 depending on where you buy it.
It sounds like your heater coil is low on coolant and drains your radiator every time you turn it on. Try letting your van warm up completely, then turn your heater on full blast and then check your radiator coolant level, if its low, that's your problem. Just keep adding until full.

If you are referring to the coolant level sensor, it is mounted on the radiator tank, on the passenger side, near the battery.If you are referring to the coolant temperature sensor, it is located near the thermostat housing, just in front of the throttle body.In either case, you should see a connector and wires going to the sensor.Good Luck, Greg
No. If the A/C is not working there is a problem related to the A/C system. A thermostat is in the cooling system and if its not working properly the vehicle can overheat or not get warm enough to give you heat inside the vehicle.
it is located next to the crossover pipe for the exhaust. you have to remove it to get to the thermostat housing.
for my 2000 Chevy Venture I use DexCool. It is the ONLY one recommended by GM.
