It usually means the electric fan is not working, but I would also check the coolant level. Note that not all cars have electric fans, and the above recommendation to check the coolant should be followed, but there could be other reasons, such as a blockage in the cooling system or damage to a system component.

If you find debris on your radiator, use compressed air to clean it, NOT water or anything else which can bend the radiator fins.
