Check engine water temp with a thermometer -- Replace temperature sending unit
if the temperature goes up on ur gauge but it is not overheating means ur thermostat is no good
There is a battery light above the engine temperature gauge
Is vehicle actually overheating? Could be a bad temperature sending unit or gauge Check temperature with a thermometer If thermostat does not open vehicle will overheat
The gauge on the far right side of the gauge cluster is your engine temperature gauge. The normal operating temperature is at the half-way mark. If the needle raises above the 3/4 mark then the car is overheating. A light will come on also if it begins to overheat.
Engine is overheating, faulty gauge, faulty temp sensor......
get a new temperature sensor.
A temperature gauge is used simply to monitor the temperature of something. They are most commonly used in vehicles to monitor oil and engine temperature to prevent any damage caused by the vehicle overheating.
If there is no temperature gauge on a motorcycle, the way to tell if the motorcycle is overheating is by smell or feel. If the bike smells like radiator hot water, it might be overheating. If the legs of the operator start to become so warm that it is uncomfortable to ride, it might be overheating.
I believe that is Motorcraft DY961
The temperature sensor is malfunctioning
It means the engine may be overheating.
If it is not overheating then the temp gage or the sending unit are bad.
