Cadillac Escalade/Escalade ESV Owner Manual - 2010

If No Steam Is Coming From The

Engine Compartment

The ENGINE OVERHEATED STOP ENGINE or the

ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE message, along

with a low coolant condition, can indicate a serious

problem.

If you get an engine overheat 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. See Towing a Trailer on page 6‑42.

If you get the ENGINE OVERHEATED STOP ENGINE

or the ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE message

with no sign of steam, try this for a minute or so:

If the overheat warning is displayed with no sign of

steam:

1. Turn the air conditioning off.

2. Turn the heater on to the highest temperature and

to the highest fan speed. Open the windows as

necessary.

3. In heavy traffic, let the engine idle in N (Neutral)

while stopped. If it is safe to do so, pull off the

road, shift to P (Park) or N (Neutral) and let the

engine idle.

If the temperature overheat gauge is no longer in

the overheat zone or an overheat warning no longer

displays, the vehicle can be driven. Continue to drive

the vehicle slow for about 10 minutes. Keep a safe

vehicle distance from the car in front of you. If the

warning does not come back on, continue to drive

normally.

If the warning continues, pull over, stop, and park

the vehicle right away.

If there is no sign of steam, idle the engine for

five minutes while parked. If the warning is still

displayed, turn off the engine until it cools down.

Also, see “Overheated Engine Protection Operating

Mode” later in this section.
