If No Steam Is Coming From Your

Engine

An Engine Coolant Hot − Idle Engine warning,

along with a low coolant, can indicate a serious

problem.

If you get an Engine Coolant Hot − Idle Engine

warning, but see or hear no steam, the problem

may not be too serious. Sometimes the engine can

get a little too hot

when you:

• Climb a long hill on a hot day.

• Stop after high-speed driving.

• Idle for long periods in traffic.

• Tow a trailer.

If you get the Engine Coolant Hot − Idle Engine

warning with no sign of steam, try this for a minute

or so:

1. In heavy traffic, let the engine idle in

NEUTRAL (N) while stopped. If it is safe to

do so, pull off the road, shift to PARK (P)

or NEUTRAL (N) and let the engine idle.

2. Set the climate controls to the highest heat

setting and fan speed and open the windows,

as necessary.

If you no longer have the Engine Coolant Hot − Idle

Engine warning, you can drive. Just to be safe,

drive slower for about 10 minutes. If the warning

does not come back on, you can drive normally.
