Why is the engine coolant temperature too low?
1 Answers
Engine coolant temperature may be too low due to the following reasons: a faulty thermostat or a constantly running cooling fan. The thermostat controls the engine coolant temperature. If the thermostat malfunctions and the valve fails to close, the coolant will continuously circulate in the large loop, potentially causing the engine temperature to drop excessively. Some vehicles have their thermostats removed during summer to lower high coolant temperatures, which can also result in abnormally low engine temperatures. Additionally, for electric fans, circuit malfunctions may cause continuous operation; for silicone oil fans, a damaged silicone oil clutch can lead to the fan running constantly. These issues can all contribute to low coolant temperature.
