I live close to the highway, and this is the temperature gauge from today’s morning drive to work. Is it normal to have the temperature gauge be this low 10 minutes into the drive? It is worth noting that the rpms weren’t reaching more than 2, since I was cruising slowly, but still, I have a feeling that the temperature gauge is very low despite the fact that I wasn’t driving aggressively.
I would say the thermostat is toast. It’s stuck open.
Thermostat is probably just one that opens when it’s 160f rather than the 190f ones probably fine long term
Maybe thermostat is stuck open? Better for it to be a little cold than hot though lol
Is it very cold out? How is heat in the cab?
Id rather have it a bit cold than a bit too hot.
This isn’t low.
Also, for actual temps consider getting some type of scanner that engages in conversation with OBD port. OBD port is good time yay
Looks like normal operating temp depending on vehicle. Some are at different areas on the gauge at normal operating temp. My 01 tacoma stays exactly at halfway. QX30s are at about 2/3 normally. Need a known good comparison to judge. Doesn’t look like an issue to me.
Your thermostat needs to be replaced.
Normal anywhere between middle of cold and right smack dab in the middle of the cage is normal. Anything above middle of cage is when you want to keep an eye on it.
