What does it mean when the temperature gauge light comes on?
1 Answers
When the temperature gauge light comes on, it indicates a malfunction in the engine's cooling system, which fails to ensure proper engine cooling. Here are the reasons for an overheated car: 1. Insufficient coolant: Leakage and reduction of coolant can cause the water temperature to rise. In this case, check for any coolant leakage. If there is a leak, repair the leaking components as soon as possible. If there is no leak, promptly add the appropriate coolant. 2. Radiator fan issues: A faulty radiator fan can cause the water temperature to rise. When the vehicle is running at high speeds, the generated heat cannot be effectively transferred to the coolant, affecting heat dissipation and leading to an increase in coolant temperature, which may result in boiling.
