What happens if you remove the radiator cap on a hot engine?
Never attempt to remove the radiator cap off of a hot engine. The radiator cap is designed to pressurize the system so that the water doesn’t boil as easily. Removing the cap from a hot engine will cause the coolant to start boiling and the steam will most likely burn you. Once the engine has cooled, check the overall fluid level of the coolant.
Why is the engine hot a / C off light turned on?
After driving it home with the light blinking and reducing power, it was not actually hot. Using a heat sensor, the hose coming out of the engine registers only 193 degrees at the highest. The fan is running. Correct engine coolant used and it is not losing any coolant. The cluster sometimes goes haywire.

How can you tell if your Radiator is low on coolant?
You only have to visually check your reservoir coolant level or radiator, to see if your cooling system is low on coolant. You then just need to top it off to the proper level. The key here is to add the right mix of antifreeze and water and do not mix different antifreeze together.
