I will call AAA tomorrow and report this.īy the way, I am so glad to find out that I do not have real issue with coolant temperature. You wouldn’t want to damage your engine parts which will result in an expensive fix because of ignorance or not inspecting your vehicle. Prevention is better than cure, they say. If your engine runs higher than this, consider inspecting your cooling system components. However, I assume that the SmartTrek device somehow maintain the link and read the temperature. Normal coolant temperature Celsius should be between 75 to 195 degrees. When I turned it off, I lost the link between my ODB scanner and the OBD. I think my AAA SmartTrek device somehow continuously monitor the temperature even when I turned off the engine. When I restarted the car, the temperature dropped to 200 within 30 seconds. Normal ranging should be under 200, like White said, 195 is the. To read the ODB, I kept the key at "on" position with the engine turned off. Anything over is just begging for head gasket problems. In Celsius, the average coolant temperature for a Dodge Charger is somewhere in the range of seventy-five (75) to one hundred five (105) degrees Celsius. The live data reading from my ODB reader showed that my engine coolant temperature is around 200 and did not go above 210.Īs soon as I finished testing and turn off the engine, the temperature reading went up to 335 degrees. During normal driving, the engine coolant temperature stabilizes at 100 C (210 F) or less, and the gauge indicates a range lower than 100 C (210 F). In Fahrenheit, the coolant temperature must be somewhere between two hundred four (204) as the minimum and two hundred seventeen(217) as the maximum. After 10 minute driving, I saw the temp gauge needle stays at the first line as it did before. That is because of the car having the turbo. That temp you're seeing is the oil temperature, not the coolant temperature. Lets see if anyone else comes back with some information. I had my OBD scanner connected while I was driving local roads at 90 degrees outside. 108 C is 226 F so at 245, it 'appears' that mine is running higher than that upper limit. It may even get below 180 degrees when at prolonged stops with the ICE mostly off.I did some experiment. the coolant temp probably does vary quite a bit. It does not sounds like 210 degrees is too high. Later my cousin who had an SL1 and a friend who also had a Saturn (but I don't remember the model) mentioned their similar concerns and I was able to relieve their fears based on my observations. For most vehicles, the normal operating temperature will range from about 195-220 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the fan kicked in, the temp went down considerably. I had discovered this phenomina with my SL2, and tested that this was normal by letting the car idle until the fan kicked in. BPs will survive about 250 with enough system pressure and a bit of water wetter.
But be stuck in traffic on a day where the temperature is moderate where AC is not needed, and the coolant temp rises to temps that some would find a bit too high. In <85 weather, we usually see 192-200 coolant.

Can't find it anywhere in the Kubota manuals or PDF parts file I. for my Kubota B8200- ie., what the thermostat operates at, for want of a better spec. Why is too hot coolant a bad thing Although your vehicle may still run when the temperature is too high, you will be causing unseen damage to the engine internals. You must keep the coolant temperature within the recommended 195-220-degree Fahrenheit range. Normal coolant temperature will be around 195 to 220 Fahrenheit (approx 90C) and anything above or below this can start causing problems. A normal coolant temperature is essential for your car to function correctly, especially in hot weather conditions. and voltmeter) I tried to find out what is considered normal coolant temp. The importance of maintaining a normal coolant temperature cannot be overemphasized. Usually the Saturn is either moving, using AC, or ambient temp sufficiently cool that the coolant temp doesn't rise much past the low normal temp. Having just installed a set of gauges (oil press., coolant temp. Having a lower temperature is not a good thing, the engine has been. This has caused a few concerns with Saturns that have a wide range between the low coolant thermostat opening temp, and the high temp that trips the fans to be on. I'd imagine your car has a 180 degree thermostat though. Most cars have a 195 degree thermostat, so yes, it is very normal to have coolent temps well above 200 degrees. When the fans are not operating and the car is not moving, so that there is no air circulation through the radiator, the coolant temp will rise until the fan thermostat kicks in to start cooling things down.Īs stated, if the AC is on, then the fan will always be on, thus the coolant will always be on the lower side of the limit. Depending on what psi the radiator cap opens all the way, coolent will boil in an automotive engine at around 265-270 degrees.
