This is a common problem with aluminum-lined engines. Overheating of the engine creates enormous thermal stress on the engine and cylinder block. Valve thrusters can be extended, the valves melt, the pistons and the crankshaft can wear out. When the parts inside the engine are overheated, they expand and rub against each other and begin to melt and fuse. You damage the pistons, and cylinder gaskets. If you do not stop the vehicle which has a coolant malfunction…Ĭontinuing to use an overheated motor can cause serious damage. If there is a leak in the engine (such as a cylinder gasket or a blind crack) it will not be visible and this can only be detected by the cooling system pressure test. Generally, leaks are seen in the radiator, radiator hoses, hose connections and circulation pump. Visually inspect the radiator, engine and cooling system for leaks. The engine cooling fluid has been lost due to leaks, so the engine may have overheated. Add water for now, then add some antifreeze by draining some of the cooling fluid. However, this is an emergency situation, so you may not have antifreeze. It will be more accurate to add 50/50 antifreeze and water mixture to protect engine water from freezing and boiling risk and against corrosion. If liquid is missing, add water or antifreeze to the radiator or coolant reservoir. Wait until all the pressure is out before you open the cap. In this way, you can ensure that the pressure inside is released safely.
Firstly, cover place with a cloth on the cap and slowly turn the cap until it stops in the first lock. After the engine has cooled down, you can open the radiator cap and check the coolant level. This is because, high pressure will drain the water and cause the motor to stay dry and burn the gasket. In addition to this, opening the cover of a hot engine can lead to greater costs. There is no intervention type that you can do with a hot motor. If the cover on the radiator is opened, pressurized and steamed air can cause severe burns. The radiator contains hot water under high pressure. Driving any distance with this light on can do EXTREME damage to your engine and turn a minor problem into a major one.Attention! Do not try to open the radiator cap! This light indicates your motor is operating without sufficient lubrication. Note: different vehicles use different indicator lights. Ignoring this light for long enough can cause damage to your motor down the road. This light will illuminate when your vehicle is ready to be serviced and it's time to have the old oil drained and fresh oil put into your motor. Driving on a tire without enough air in it can ruin it. Don't wait too long to fix this because you're flying blind about the pressure in your tires. This may illuminate because a sensor is broken or the whole system is giving false readings. Visit us soon so you don't damage your tire or cause a blowout.Ī flashing tire pressure light indicates that your system needs to be serviced. Low pressure could be caused by a bad seal at the rim, metal in the tire, or a cold snap (cold air exerts less pressure than hot air). This light illuminates when the sensor that is built into each of your wheels senses that there is low pressure in the tire. If your light is flashing after you start the vehicle, then the computer is telling you catalytic converter damage is imminent, and you may experience a loss of power or irreversible damage. You can still drive with the light on, but you should visit us sooner rather than later.
If it doesn't, then the computer is telling you that you may have a problem affecting fuel economy, emissions, or drive ability. This light illuminates when your car is in the Run position but should turn off when the car is started. Below is your guide to what each light means. You want your Christmas tree all lit up, but not your dash.
