Do You Need to Wait for the Engine Coolant Temperature to Rise Before Turning on the AC in Summer?
1 Answers
You do not need to wait for the engine coolant temperature to rise before turning on the AC in summer. Below are the specific reasons for low engine coolant temperature: 1. Thermostat malfunction: If the valve fails to close, the coolant will continuously circulate in the large loop, which may result in low engine coolant temperature. Alternatively, some vehicles may have their thermostats removed during summer to lower the temperature when it gets too high, leading to low engine coolant temperature. In such cases, the thermostat needs to be inspected and possibly replaced. 2. Constant operation of the cooling fan: For electric fans, circuit malfunctions can cause the fan to run continuously. Similarly, a faulty silicone oil clutch can also lead to constant fan operation. These issues can both cause low engine coolant temperature.
