First, check your coolant levels and make sure they are sufficient. If they are low, top it up with the recommended coolant. If that doesn't solve the issue, it could be a faulty radiator or thermostat that needs to be replaced.

You should also check your radiator fan and make sure it is functioning properly. If it is not working, it could be a faulty fan motor or a blown fuse. Get it checked and replaced if necessary.

L

Another potential cause could be a clogged or damaged water pump. Consult a mechanic to determine if it needs to be repaired or replaced.

G

In the meantime, try not to drive your car for long periods of time if the engine is overheating. This can cause further damage. Instead, pull over and let the engine cool down before continuing your journey.
