if engine over heating coolant over flow jug will boil over you will see steam.sound like you have either faulty engine coolant temperature sensor or could have faulty fans relay or fuse or pcm problem if coolant fans dont turn on.have garage with code scanner that can do a snap shot on coolant temperature sensor check see how hot coolant temperature is see if coolant temperature over 220 degrees engine getting too hot.could have faulty water or blowed head gasket check engine oil on oil dip stick look milkly you have blowed head gasket. i use infra red laser thermometor check see how hot engine is over 107 celsius engine is overheating.
Sounds like you have a problem with the cooling system. First thing you need to check first if the auxillary fans are working from the time you are the engine is overheating. If the auxillary fans is not working then the problem would be the aux fan itself or relays. if Fan is working then you might have a poblem with the water pump.
Hi,
Looks like your auxiliary fan motor assembly is not working. That fan is the one that cools down your aircon condenser on the front of the engine. When you turn on the A/C it( aux fan ) should run, if not, the problem will be either the fan motor or the switch relay. Open your fuse and relay box in the engine compartment ( black plastic box ), near the fender, look at the sign of "winter ice" that is the relay, and switch on your ignition( don't start ) and aircon a click sound should be heard or felt on that relay. If not, pull it out and take a similar relay on that box and insert it in that relay socket. Fan should run, if not the fan motor is the problem.
Better go to your technician if you can't fix it y yourself, I am just pointing out the problem that should be done for DIY job.
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks for asking FixYa!
Ok things to check, air in system, coolant level low, cap holding pressure, leak at radiator or expansion tank, vicous fan, aux fan, A/C freon charged to allow low speed fan function, temp sensor for high sppeed aux fan funtion, thermostat, water pump, radiator cools 15 dgrees from inlet to outlet.
Check all that and youll find something wrong I am sure.
Change the thermostat and bleed the ir from the cooling system,then ,if the cooling fans do not come on,check the relay module under the cooling fans on drivers side,they are bad to go out,but if there is air in the cooling system,the cooling fans will not come on.
You say that the air con is not cold, i think the problem would be the aircon will need regasing, if the gas has escaped from the system, the temperature in the aircon system will always be warm so the fan will continue working attempting to cool it down. It will need checking for leaks, most companies that recharge the system check the whole system for leaks first before refilling the system. If its the engine cooling fan it could be the thermo switch that is faulty,the way to check that is when the engine is cold disconnect the wires from the switch and put an ohms meter across the swith it sould not give any reading, it will only show a reading when the engine reaches operating temparature. hope that helps. regards Richard
Hi,Your car have one auxiliary fan that comes on when you turn the air on if this fan stops working the motor overheat ,there is a fuse and a relay for this fan ,,check both of them first ,if they are good check the fan motor ....
