What to Do When the Water Temperature Gauge Doesn't Rise?
1 Answers
If the water temperature gauge doesn't rise, it is likely due to a malfunction of the water temperature sensor. The water temperature sensor is installed in the water jacket of the engine block or cylinder head, directly contacting the coolant to measure the temperature of the engine coolant. If the water temperature sensor fails or malfunctions, the engine ECU will detect that the output signal from the water temperature sensor is unreliable. Below are the hazards of low water temperature in cars during winter: 1. It can lead to incomplete fuel combustion: reducing the engine's efficiency. 2. Incomplete fuel combustion causes carbon deposits: increasing fuel consumption and polluting the environment. 3. Prolonged operation of the vehicle at low temperatures: accelerates wear and tear on internal engine components.
