What happens if the temperature in the cooling system rises?

What happens if the temperature in the cooling system rises?

With high ambient temperatures, your coolant temperature can rise quickly to dangerous levels causing engine damage. The cooling system in your car is designed to keep things cool under even the most extreme conditions.

Why does the temperature gauge on my AC not work?

The temperature gauge dropping should not matter to the AC system as it only cares that the coolant temperature is below 253 degrees. However it could be a symptom of the problem.

When does the a / C stop blowing cold air?

Drove it around for about 10 mins and the car stayed at 210 on the gauge (as it should) and the a/c worked fine. This lasted for 2 days and then it went back to dropping the water temp, killing the a/c.

Is the radiator fan blowing cold air?

I am helping a neighbor with a 2017 that appears to have the same issues —- dash temp gauge reading cold, radiator fan running continuously from start-up and air conditioning running warm.

Why is the temperature gauge on my trailblazer not working?

My question is to Ken the Administrator. In a previous blog about 2008 Trailblazer with a temperature gauge intermittently not working and setting code 128, you stated that it traces back to the BCM. Could you kindly explain how the BCM controls this?
