Engine Coolant Temperature
Warning Light
The light will come on briefly when the ignition is turned
on to show that it is working.
If the vehicle has been operating under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating on page 5-25.
This light indicates that the
engine coolant has
overheated or the radiator
cooling fan is not
working.
Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This reading indicates the same thing as the warning
light. It means that the engine coolant has overheated. If
the vehicle has been operating under normal driving
conditions, pull off the road, stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine as soon as possible. See Engine
Overheating on page 5-25.
The vehicle has a gage
that shows the engine
coolant temperature. If the
gage pointer moves into
the red area, the engine is
too hot.
