What Does It Mean When the Water Temperature Gauge Flashes?
1 Answers
When the water temperature gauge flashes, it indicates that the vehicle's antifreeze level is insufficient or the temperature inside the radiator is too high. Below is relevant information: The water temperature warning light is used to indicate the temperature of the coolant in the engine. Some models use colors to display different statuses—blue indicates the coolant is too cold, red means it's too hot, and no light indicates normal operation. If the driver notices that the water temperature warning light on the dashboard remains illuminated while driving, it signifies a malfunction in the vehicle's engine cooling system. The main causes of this issue are: 1. Insufficient antifreeze in the engine, preventing the cooling system from functioning properly, which triggers the warning light. 2. Malfunctioning cooling fans in the engine's cooling system, leading to inadequate heat dissipation during normal vehicle operation, resulting in the water temperature warning light turning on.
