The engine coolant temperature warning light, often depicting an engine with squiggly lines, indicates a potential issue with your vehicle's engine temperature.
This light illuminates when the engine coolant reaches an excessively high temperature, risking engine damage. Several factors can cause this, including low coolant levels, a faulty thermostat or radiator, or a water pump malfunction.
When you notice the engine coolant temperature warning light, pull over to a safe location and let your engine cool down. Avoid continuing to drive and immediately address the issue by checking the coolant level, examining the thermostat and radiator, and having a professional mechanic inspect your cooling system.
