But for those that do have a light, exactly what the warning looks like will vary by vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some cars may warn of an engine over-temperature condition by displaying a string of text in the driver&rsquo;s information center. Others will turn on an illuminated symbol depicting a thermometer floating in coolant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless of the warning&rsquo;s appearance, the message is always the same: Your car&rsquo;s engine is overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Should the Engine Coolant Temp Be?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most modern engines have a normal coolant temperature operating range between 195 and 225 degrees Farenheight. Anything hotter than the peak normal operating temperature is considered to be overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"article-search-widget\">\n<div class=\"cp-search\">\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/w_auto,dpr_auto\/carparts\/logos\/badge_wordmark\/full_color\/CP_LOGO_COLOUR_RGB\" alt=\"CarParts.com\" width=\"300\" height=\"56\">\n<\/div>\n<form id=\"cpsearchform\" name=\"cpsearchform\" action=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/search\" method=\"get\" target=\"_blank\" accept-charset=\"character_set\" aria-label=\"search CarParts.com\">\n    <input type=\"text\" class=\"keyword\" name=\"q\" placeholder=\"Search for parts on CarParts.com\" value=\"\" aria-label=\"Search CarParts.com\"><input type=\"submit\" class=\"btn-search\" value=\"Search\" aria-label=\"Search\">\n<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is My Coolant Overheating?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to what Hollywood movies might lead you to believe, cars don&rsquo;t spontaneously overheat for no reason. In reality, engines overheat when there&rsquo;s something wrong&mdash;and there are many possibilities for what that something might be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine the cause of the overheating condition, you (or your mechanic) will need to do some diagnostic work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"woman checking overheating car engine\" class=\"wp-image-39143\" style=\"width:1024px;height:683px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/car-engine-overheating.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Engines overheat when there&rsquo;s something wrong&mdash;and there are many possibilities for what that something might be.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Causes for Engine Overheating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car is overheating, there&rsquo;s a good chance you&rsquo;ll find one or more of the following problems to be the cause:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Leaks Leading to a Low Coolant Level<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your car&rsquo;s cooling system is an assortment of components and hoses, nearly all of which can develop leaks. Leaks often lead to a low coolant level, resulting in engine overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Failed Thermostat<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/thermostat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"thermostat\">thermostat<\/a> is one of the most important parts of the cooling system. When the engine is below normal operating temperature, the thermostat is closed to prevent coolant from circulating from the engine to the radiator. Keeping the thermostat closed under these conditions allows the engine to warm up more quickly for improved efficiency and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the engine reaches operating temperature (usually around 195 degrees), the thermostat opens, allowing coolant to flow from the engine to the radiator, then back again. The radiator transfers some of the heat from the coolant to the atmosphere to effectively remove heat from the engine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like any automotive part, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/what-are-the-common-signs-of-a-bad-thermostat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"thermostat can eventually fail\">thermostat can eventually fail<\/a>. If it fails in the closed position, coolant will not be able to circulate between the engine and the radiator, resulting in the engine overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Faulty Water Pump<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Your car&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/water-pump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"water pump\">water pump<\/a> contains a multi-blade impeller that forces coolant to circulate throughout the cooling system. Most water pumps are driven off of the engine by a drive belt, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/timing-belt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"timing belt\">timing belt<\/a>, or timing chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/signs-of-a-bad-water-pump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"water pump or its drive mechanism fail\">water pump or its drive mechanism fail<\/a>, coolant will no longer flow properly through the cooling system and the engine will overheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"broken water pump\" class=\"wp-image-39144\" style=\"width:1024px;height:767px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-928x696.jpg 928w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-water-pump.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">If the water pump is broken, the coolant will no longer flow properly through the cooling system and the engine will overheat.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Damaged or Obstructed Radiator<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The radiator is a heat exchanger that dissipates heat from the hot engine coolant into the atmosphere. When the vehicle is moving down the road, air flows through the front grille and the radiator to remove heat. In situations where the vehicle is idling or moving slowly, one or more fans move air through the radiator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/bad-radiator-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"radiator may become damaged\">radiator may become damaged<\/a> or obstructed, leading to engine overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inoperative Cooling Fan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>As is noted above, the radiator relies on a cooling fan to provide airflow when the vehicle is idling or traveling slowly. If that fan isn&rsquo;t working properly, either due to an internal failure or a circuit problem, the engine will overheat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internal Engine Problem<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few common internal engine problems&mdash;including blown head gaskets, cracked cylinder heads, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/cracked-engine-block-symptoms-causes-and-diagnosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cracked engine blocks\">cracked engine blocks<\/a>&mdash;that can lead to internal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/coolant-leak-symptoms-plus-faq\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"coolant leaks\">coolant leaks<\/a> and overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on where the leak is located, the coolant may either enter the engine&rsquo;s combustion chamber (and get burned) or the lubrication system (and mix with engine oil). Either scenario can lead to a low coolant level and engine overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to note that blown <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/head-gasket-set\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"head gaskets\">head gaskets<\/a>, cracked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/cylinder-head\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"cylinder heads\">cylinder heads<\/a>, and cracked engine blocks often result from engine overheating, as we&rsquo;ll discuss below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"broken car engine due to overheating\" class=\"wp-image-39145\" style=\"width:1024px;height:683px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/broken-car-engine-due-to-overheating.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Some of the most common consequences of overheating include blown radiators, blown head gaskets, cracked cylinder heads, and cracked blocks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Safe to Drive With an Activated Temperature Light on the Dash?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>No, it&rsquo;s dangerous to drive while the engine temperature warning light is on. If you continue driving, you&rsquo;d risk damaging your engine, which could lead to costly repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So take your ride to an auto repair shop when you notice the warning light is on, especially if you spot signs of engine overheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find a safe spot to park, but don&rsquo;t inspect the hood immediately. The extreme heat when you lift the hood could injure you. Instead, contact a towing service to take your ride to an auto repair shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"perspective-widget\">\n        <div class=\"pt-child-wrap\">\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item1\">\n                <figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\n                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cld.partsimg.com\/image\/upload\/dpr_auto,f_auto,q_auto\/carparts\/blog\/plugins\/amp\/avatar-comments\" class=\"com-thumb\" alt=\"Avatar of CarParts.com Research Team\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\">\n                <\/figure>\n                <p>\n                    <strong>Nitta<\/strong> \n                    <span>User<\/span>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"pt-col-item2\">\n                <div class=\"protip-desc\">\n                    <div class=\"perspective-help-tip\">   \n                        <p>There&rsquo;s more than one way to look at an issue. &ldquo;Community Perspectives&rdquo; highlight authentic personal viewpoints and real-life experiences by the CarParts.com community, including our readers, experts, and product specialists, among others.

Extreme heat can cause various internal engine components to expand, leading to problems, such as damaged valves and scuffed pistons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High operating temperatures can also lead to detonation, which can destroy internal engine components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do You Fix Coolant Over Temperature?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your car&rsquo;s engine overheating light comes on, you should pull over and shut off the engine immediately. Then, have the car towed to your destination of choice for repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have the vehicle in a safe place, you (or your mechanic) will need to diagnose and repair the underlying cause of the overheating concern. Do not drive the car until the problem is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Replacing Parts Damaged by an Overheating Engine<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>When the engine overheats, it can cause various problems, from blown head gaskets and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/radiator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"radiators\">radiators<\/a> to engine block damage.
