Engine Coolant Temperature Gage
This gage measures the
temperature of the
vehicle’s engine coolant.
If the pointer moves into the shaded area, your
engine is too hot, the CHK GAGE message
will appear and a chime will sound to alert you to
the engine coolant temperature gage. See
Check Gage Message on page 184for more
information. If you have been operating your
vehicle under normal driving conditions, you should
pull off the road and stop your vehicle, be sure
the air conditioning is off, let the engine idle for a
few minutes, then turn off the engine.On vehicles with the 2.2L engine, under severe
conditions – hot ambient temperature, steep
grades and towing – your vehicle may experience
more transaxle shifting to avoid engine coolant
overheating. This is temporary and normal under
these conditions. This does not require engine
or transaxle service.
If your engine control system detects a failure in
the engine coolant temperature circuit, the
malfunction indicator lamp light will come on. The
coolant gage may read all the way hot or cold.
The engine cooling fan will be turned on to protect
the engine and transaxle. SeeMalfunction
Indicator Lamp on page 174for more information.
Notice:Driving with the engine coolant
temperature gage indicator in the shaded area
could cause your vehicle to overheat. Your
vehicle could be damaged, and it might not be
covered by your warranty. Never drive with
the engine coolant temperature gage indicator
in the shaded area.
