Why Is My Suzuki Alto Lapin’s Engine Overheating?

My Suzuki Alto Lapin’s engine temperature gauge is reading high, and I’m worried the engine is overheating. Could this be related to a faulty temperature sensor, such as the coolant temperature sensor o r the thermostat sensor? How can I check if a sensor is causing the overheating problem?

Engine overheating can be caused by several factors, some of which are related to sensors in the vehicle. Possible sensor-related causes include:

Coolant Temperature Sensor CTS: The coolant temperature sensor monitors the engines temperature and sends the data to the ECU. If the sensor is faulty, it can send incorrect temperature readings, causing the ECU to fail to regulate the cooling system properly.

Thermostat Sensor Failure: A faulty thermostat sensor can cause the thermostat to fail to open o r close correctly, leading to improper coolant flow and overheating.

Coolant Level Sensor Issues: If the coolant level sensor is faulty o r not working properly, the system may not detect low coolant levels, leading to overheating.

Solution:

Diagnosis: Use a diagnostic tool to check if the coolant temperature sensor is malfunctioning. This can reveal if the sensor is giving inaccurate readings.
Repair: Replace the faulty coolant temperature sensor o r thermostat if they are found to be the issue. If the coolant level sensor is malfunctioning, it will need to be replaced as well.
