It means the engine may be overheating.
Coolant Level too low (or sensor went bad) or Engine Compartment Temp too high / engine compartment fan failure
engine coolant
Your engine coolant temperature gauge has a sensor ( there is also a engine coolant temperature sensor that is used for the computer / PCM )
A signal from the temperature sensor on the engine.
It is a dual purpose warning light. It will illuminate if the coolant temperature gets too high, and, if air conditioning is fitted, certain faults will cause the warning light to flash. If it is an air conditioning fault then turning the air conditioning off will stop the light from flashing.
Switch the ignition off and start the car again.The light will then stop flashing.
The average aircraft will have temperature gauges for the following: Outside air temperature, Engine air inlet temperature, Engine exhaust temperature, cabin temperature, and that's just on a small aircraft. So which temperature gauge do you mean?
The three most important gauges or indicators to be aware of are the fuel gauge, engine temperature gauge, and oil pressure gauge. The fuel gauge informs you of how much fuel you have left, preventing unexpected runs out of gas. The engine temperature gauge helps monitor the engine's operating temperature, alerting you to overheating issues. Lastly, the oil pressure gauge indicates whether the engine is receiving adequate oil flow, which is crucial for lubrication and preventing engine damage.
No - the gauge reports 'real-time' the engine temperature. If it is wrong, there is a problem with the sending unit on the engine. This is a pretty easy fix...
i just put in a new radiator and now temperature gauge reads high but their are no leaks
usually on the left of the engine between the first two spark plugs
Low Coolant? Weak Temerature sensor? Weak gauge Gauge working properly and recording the thermostat opening and closing as engine temperature fluctuates
