Why is the engine overheating?
High temperature may relate to low coolant, leaks, cooling fans, thermostat, water pump or other issues that require inspection.
What it may indicate
- Temperature gauge rises above its normal range
- Temperature or coolant warning appears
- Steam, a sweet smell or visible coolant loss
What to check
- Stop in a safe place if temperature keeps rising
- Allow the engine to cool before checking levels
- Inspect for leaks and cooling-system operation
When to prioritize an inspection
Do not open a hot cooling system. If the gauge reaches a critical zone or steam appears, shut the engine down safely and seek assistance.
