Why is the engine coolant level too low?
1 Answers
The main reasons for low engine coolant level include: malfunction of the water temperature gauge and its circuit, damage to the water temperature sensor, thermostat valve stuck open, failure of the louver to close the temperature control switch, fan motor circuit malfunction causing the fan to run continuously, or failure of the silicone oil clutch in vehicles equipped with a silicone oil clutch fan. The cooling system operates by circulating coolant through a water pump to carry heat away from the engine, achieving a cooling effect. If the engine coolant level is too low, it will result in the inability to circulate and dissipate heat, potentially leading to engine damage. Coolant is an essential part of a car's engine, circulating within the engine cooling system to remove excess heat generated during engine operation, ensuring the engine operates at the correct working temperature.
