Attachment: Cooling System Diagnosis List
Condition Possible reason
Coolant temperature gauge
reading is low
1. Whether coolant temperature sensor is connected;
2. Whether coolant temperature gauge works normally;
3. In cool environment temperature, coolant level is low, and warm effect is
bad at the same time;
4. Inside air door or controller of warm air heater works abnormally;
Coolant temperature gauge
reading is high or coolant
warning light is on. There
may be or not coolant
reducing or leaking in
cooling system.
1. Tow trailer normally, vehicle crawls in abrupt rampway, runs in slow
moving traffic or open A/C when engine in high temperature environment
(outside). Higher height will exacerbate these conditions.
2. Whether coolant temperature gauge reading is right?
3. Whether coolant temperature warning is unnecessary on?
4. Whether liquid level is low in coolant recycle/overflow tank and radiator?
5. Radiator pressure cover is not installed well. If pressure cover is loosened,
boiling point of coolant will reduce. Please refer to step 6 below at the same
time.
6. Radiator cover sealing is not good.
7. Radiator liquid level is low, but liquid level of coolant recycling overflow
tank is not low. It indicates radiator doesn’t pump coolant in
recycling/overflow tank when engine cooling.
8. Incorrect coolant thickness.
9. Coolant doesn’t flow through system.
10. Cooling plate of radiator or A/C condenser is too dirty or blocked.
11. Radiator core is already corroded or blocked.
12. Brake is dragging.
13. Use shielding plate or paper plate, thus reduce air flow.
14. Thermostat is partly or totally closed.
15. Cooling fan works abnormally.
16. Cylinder gasket leaks.
17. Warm air heater core leaks.
Coolant temperature gauge
reading is not steady
(wave, circulate or no rule)
1. When working in cold weather, warm air blower is in high hot state,
coolant temperature gauge may drop a little.
2. Coolant temperature gauge or coolant temperature sensor installed in
engine loses efficacy or is short circuit. Or wires in the circuit are corroded or
loosen.
3. When vehicle stops after heavy loaded (engine still running), coolant
temperature gauge reading will rise up.
4. Heated engine starts again, coolant temperature gauge reading is high.
5. Liquid level is low in radiator (It will gather air in cooling system, causing
thermostat delayed open).
6. Cylinder gasket leaking causes fuel-air get into cooling system, causing
thermostat delayed open.
7. It’s loosened between coolant pump impeller and shaft.
8. Attachment driving belt is loosened. (Coolant pump is slipped)
9. Intake part of coolant pump leaks air, causing air gather in cooling system,
and leading to thermostat delayed open.
Radiator pressure cover Pressure releasing valve on radiator cover loses efficacy
