Diagnostic guide

Coolant loss or coolant leak

Treat 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.

Warning light1

Warning light

Coolant-temperature / overheating warning

The engine or cooling system is reporting excessive temperature or a related protection condition. The warning does not identify whether the cause is coolant loss, airflow, circulation, control, or internal leakage.

Stop and assess

System1

System

Cooling system

The cooling system moves heat away from the engine and releases it through controlled coolant flow and airflow. Overheating demands immediate safety judgment before diagnosis.

Diagnostic tests2

Diagnostic test

Cooling-system pressure test

Use controlled pressure on a cool system to investigate leaks without opening a hot, pressurized cooling circuit.

Test-first procedure

Diagnostic test

Cooling-system temperature and airflow checks

Compare operating pattern, temperature data, and airflow evidence without applying a universal gauge, infrared, or fan rule.
