Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Coolant Level Sensor One of the most common symptoms of a faulty coolant level sensor is a Coolant Level Light that stays on. If the sensor shorts, it can cause the Coolant Level Light to stay on. This is a problem because a permanently illuminated coolant light will not be able to properly alert the driver if the coolant level does drop low.

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing AC Fan Control Module Cooling fans not running at all. If the cooling fans are not coming on at all, then this may also be a sign that the fan control module is damaged. Without the cooling fans running properly, you will be at risk of having the car overheat. Running a car hot for a long period of time can lead to other damages like a blown head gasket.

Flush Coolant, Why, When, and How To Do It If the concentration is below 50%, the cooling system must be flushed not simply drain or flush radiator and add. If the vehicle's coolant is low, drained out, or the customer has repeatedly added coolant or water to the cooling system, then the cooling system should be completely flushed.

What Are Some Symptoms of a Bad Mass Air Flow Sensor? Under normal circumstances, the temperature of the air is a few degrees cooler than the coolant. If the sensor is bad and displays a temperature higher than the coolant level, the engine-control unit reduces the fuel flow, resulting in a lean operating condition that decreases fuel economy.

Why should you do a Cooling System Fluid Exchange? To correct low Ph or a high freezing point, we do a complete coolant exchange on your cooling system by simultaneously forcing the old coolant out under pressure through the engine, radiator, and heater core and replacing it with a fresh coolant mixture.

- If the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor or its circuits are BAD, the first thing you'll see is the check engine light shining nice and bright and: 1  Diagnostic trouble codes P0117 or P0118 stored in the PCM's memory. 2  BAD gas mileage. 3  Extended cranking. 4  In other words... 5  a hard start.

- The sensor in the rad is for the cooling fan. I have had no problems with false readings from MK2 Golf temperature gauges in all the years I have worked on them. I have had numerous problems with warning lights and alarms.But go with the experts on the forums if you wish.f the car is not using water, the cooling fan is operating and the temperature gauge reads normal, there is nothing wrong with the engine or your cooling system. The warning light has a control diode at the back of the dash that brings the light on and also operates a warning buzzer.

GM Owners Still Steaming Over Dex-Cool Clear As Mud. The bright orange coolant often changes into a muddy colored liquid and when the change occurs automobile mechanics blame Dex-Cool for expensive cooling system flushes, gasket replacements, and even new radiators and heater cores. You'll see heater cores leaking. You'll see frost plugs leaking.

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Coolant Temperature Switch (Sensor) An illuminated Check Engine Light is another symptom of a potential problem with the coolant temperature sensor. For some vehicles the computer will set off a Check Engine Light if it detects a problem with the sensor’s signal or circuit. The Check Engine Light will remain on until the issue is addressed.

Diagnosis of overheating in a V8 Petrol Land Rover A slow leak can allow coolant to leak out until one day there’s not enough and the truck overheats. A fast leak can cause the coolant to blow out in a matter of seconds. Look for a blown hose or cracked radiator or expansion tank. Slow leaks often leave a trace of sediment where the coolant emerges and evaporates.

Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Coolant Reservoir 1. Constantly low on coolant. One of the first symptoms commonly associated with a bad or failing coolant reservoir is the need to constantly add coolant. If the reservoir cracks or develops any small leaks it can cause the coolant it is storing to leak or evaporate at a slow rate.

Symptoms of Bad or Failing Heater Hoses Coolant leaks. One of the first symptoms of a an issue with the vehicle’s heater hoses is coolant leaks. The heater hoses are designed to be resistant to coolant and heat, however over time they can eventually wear out. Old hoses can break down, weaken, and eventually rupture and leak.

Symptoms of a Freon Leak Symptoms of a Freon Leak. Whether as a gaseous or liquid coolant, Freon aids in refrigeration, air conditioning and maintaining aerosol contents under pressure. Not only can this toxic chemical expose the earth to excessive ultraviolet rays, but the substance can also sicken those who inhale it in an enclosed atmosphere.

Subaru Air Conditioning Explained Usually but not always, if the coolant is low, the system has a leak. The hoses, gaskets and seals are particularly bad for leakage as they age. The radiator and heater core have similar problems. Any leak needs to be found and fixed as soon as possible.

Cooling System Trouble Diagnosis (Automobile) Poor Coolant Circulation through Radiator. Radiator flow is difficult to find out. It can be approximately measured on the vehicle with a cooling system analyser or measured off the vehicle using a radiator flow tester. Normally the recommended flow for the specific radiator is not known.

Fixing car heat issues Mike Nakagawa: Sometimes, if the coolant level gets low, air gets trapped in the heater core because it is a high point in the system. The solution for this is to jack up the front of the car (ramps), remove the rad. cap, warm up the car and keep running with the heater on high.

- This condition requires the control. system to lower the cooling coil temperature to. remove moisture while not allowing the discharge. temperature to drop. This report will investigate. solving this problem using a traditional re-heat unit. and a face and bypass unit.

- Color. The color of healthy engine coolant is green (for ethylene glycol) or orange (for Dexcool). A rusty color indicates that the rust inhibitor in the coolant has broken down and it can no longer control rust and scale buildup.

Low Head Pressure Diagnosis Air Conditioner Compressor Troubleshooting Refrigerant Pressure Diagnosis: Causes of Low Head Pressure in HVACR Systems. Low head pressure may occur simulataneously with high pressure on the suction side of an air conditioner, heat pump or refrigeration system compressor system. If the system is continuing to cool it may be doing so at reduced capacity, observed as a loss of up to ten degrees of temperature drop across the coil.

- What does it mean when low coolant light comes on and running car comes to a stop?   It means your coolant level has become too low to provide adequate cooling for the internal workings of the engine. To avoid overheating, the sensors shut the engine dow…n.

- Confidence votes 8. Coolant has a smell that is very difficult to describe; it smells sweet, yet a little like rubber; It has a green color almost like Gatorade.

What does it mean, when your car is leaking a bunch of antifreeze? The cooling system for your engine is closed system under normal conditions. The same antifreeze is used and not replaced as it is recirculated. If you’re leaking antifreeze you are losing your fixed amount of coolant and soon it will be low and your car will overheat and die and perhaps even destroy the engine. Pay attention to check engine and temperature lights to save your engine and better yet get it fixed before it shows such problems.

My Car Smells Musty, What's Causing It? Coolant has a sweet smell like candy, if your car is leaking coolant or antifreeze, you will notice the sweet smell coming from your engine compartment or inside your vehicle if you heater core has failed. Antifreeze gets very hot and will start to steam, especially if it running down or spraying on a hot engine.

Auto Diagnosis - What's That Smell? THE CULPRIT: Coolant containing sweet-smelling (but toxic) ethylene glycol is leaking from somewhere. It could be coming from a radiator or heater hose, a failed intake manifold gasket or cylinder head. It might be coming from a leaky radiator cap or the radiator itself, especially if you smell it outside the car. A strong odor inside the passenger compartment probably means a bad heater core. Most Popular.

- When the car is completely cool pull off the radiator cap and look into the radiator the check the level there. If this is one of those systems that has only one cap (the plastic reservoir) and it is indeed showing full but the indicator light/s is/are on then it may be that the sensor for the coolant level is bad.
