What are the reasons for the coolant temperature warning light to illuminate?
1 Answers
The reasons for the coolant temperature warning light to illuminate are: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage can cause its temperature to rise. In this case, check for any signs of coolant leakage; 2. Faulty cooling fan: A malfunctioning cooling fan can prevent heat from being effectively transferred to the antifreeze during high-speed operation, affecting heat dissipation and leading to increased antifreeze temperature, which may cause boiling; 3. Water pump circulation issue: If the water pump fails, the water circulation on the engine's heat conduction side cannot function properly, resulting in engine cooling system failure and boiling. Early detection and resolution are crucial. Generally, water pump issues may be caused by seized bearings or damaged impellers, with the likelihood of seized bearings being relatively low.
