![]() If air is trapped in the coolant loop it gets trapped in 2 places one is the classic top of the engine in the cylinder head because like alot of modern cars the cylinder head is above the rad and air bubbles flow to the top of the coolant loop. There is no engine temp gauge on the dash. So not sure why your saying its not overheating because it is and you will never know how bad unless you hook a scan gauge to the car and it will tell you the engine temps. I would not drive the car till this is sorted out. Usually that will damage the aluminum cylinder head. That symbol is very very bad and if continued driving on it will then launch the red triangle of death meaning the engine is in severe overheat. When that is launched on the dash it means the engine is overheating. There is no coolant symbol on the dash there is a icon for a thermometer with wavy lines under it. Does this have something to do with the air in the coolant thingy (for my lacking technical vocab)? I just want my car working again with no lights and no red triangle!įirst of all this issue has nothing to do with the inverter coolant loop so forget that and it has nothing to do with the hybrid battery so don't bother that guy. I pulled over and the symbol went away, check engine light stays on. To br fair, its 93 degrees outside but this didnt happen st all last year and it was equally as hot outside. ![]() The red triangle appeared with the word "problem" and the coolant symbol. My mechanic came out today and told me my radiator cap popped off and insinuated that my hybrid battery guy failed to replace the cap when he was working on the car (I'm not a technical gal, but I dont kno6why hed need to do anything with the coolant or radiator cap.I suspect my mechanic who replaced the coolant flow valve didnt put the radiator cap back, no pressure was building for the 3 days I drove it and he just doesn't want to own it.Īnyway, he came out today and said to go to auto zone, replace the cap and add coolant. 1) I just replaced the coolant flow valve (6/21/19ģ) the day I picked up my car, the check engine light came back on and my hybrid battery tech told me to have my regular mechanic look at the coolant flow valve again, as he was pulling codes for it
