What does it mean when the Fit's blue water temperature light is on?
2 Answers
This is a normal phenomenon. The light indicates low water temperature. It will turn off after driving for a while or idling for some time when the water temperature rises. Below is relevant information about the Fit: 1. Model Introduction: The Fit is a hatchback launched by GAC Honda. The third-generation Fit was released on May 29, 2014, positioned as a sporty hatchback targeting the personality-seeking post-90s generation with spacious interiors. 2. Design Concept: The third-generation Fit adopts the Exciting H Design as its overall design philosophy, featuring Honda's latest family-style front face concept 'solid wing', where the front grille integrates with the headlights to highlight sharpness and sportiness.
The blue water temperature light usually indicates that the car hasn't warmed up yet, meaning the temperature is too low. I remember encountering a similar situation when I first drove my Fit. Starting the car in the morning with the blue light on means the engine coolant is too cold and needs a few minutes to warm up. After driving normally for a while, it should turn off automatically. If it stays on without turning off, there might be an issue, such as insufficient coolant, a stuck thermostat that hasn't opened, or a faulty water temperature sensor sending incorrect signals. Check if the coolant level is between the min and max marks, and top it up if it's low. In cold weather, driving a bit longer to warm up the car helps it return to normal. Low temperatures affect combustion efficiency, leading to increased engine wear, higher fuel consumption, and even air pollution over time, so it's important to pay attention. If you're unsure how to check these yourself, take it to a repair shop to inspect the fuses or system faults. Don't neglect it and compromise your travel safety.
