Possible causes
Low coolant, leaks, thermostat faults, radiator restrictions, water pump issues, fan problems, or head gasket concerns can cause overheating.
Do not ignore it
Overheating can damage the engine quickly. Stop safely and avoid continued driving if the temperature rises.
What inspection checks
A cooling system inspection can include leak checks, fan operation, coolant condition, and pressure testing.
