What does it mean when the coolant light comes on?
1 Answers
When the coolant light comes on, it could be due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient coolant: Coolant leakage can cause its temperature to rise. In this case, check if there is any coolant leakage. If there is, the leaking pipes or other components should be repaired promptly. If not, the same brand of coolant should be added immediately. 2. Radiator fan malfunction: A faulty radiator fan can prevent the heat generated during high-speed operation from being effectively transferred to the antifreeze, affecting heat dissipation. This can lead to an increase in antifreeze temperature, resulting in overheating issues. 3. Water pump circulation problem: If the water pump fails, the water circulation on the engine's heat conduction side cannot function properly. This causes the engine cooling system to malfunction, leading to overheating.
