- Faulty water pump: The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine. If it is not working properly, it can cause the engine to overheat. Check the water pump to make sure it is in good condition and that it is functioning properly.
- Clogged or damaged radiator: The radiator is responsible for dissipating heat from the engine. If it is clogged or damaged, it will not be able to do its job and the engine will overheat. Check the radiator for any clogs or damage and clean or repair it as necessary.
- Low coolant level: If the coolant level is too low, it can cause the engine to overheat. Make sure the coolant level is at the proper level and add more coolant if necessary.
- Defective temperature sensor: The temperature sensor is responsible for sending a signal to the ECU (engine control unit) when the engine is overheating. If the temperature sensor is defective, it will not send the proper signal to the ECU and the engine will continue to overheat. Check the temperature sensor to make sure it is working properly and replace it if necessary.
