Treat overheating as a stop-and-assess condition, then separate coolant loss, airflow, circulation, control, and combustion concerns.
professional recommendedTreat active hot coolant loss as a burn and overheating hazard, then inspect the cooled system to separate external leakage, cap/sealing concerns, trapped air, and possible internal loss.
intermediateCompare operating pattern, temperature data, and airflow evidence without applying a universal gauge, infrared, or fan rule.
Test-first procedureUse controlled pressure on a cool system to investigate leaks without opening a hot, pressurized cooling circuit.
Test-first procedureAI guidance is separate from verified IAR sources.
