Vios owners help! Weird behavior of temperature warning lights.

Diba peeps, bago i-start ang sasakyan hinihintay muna natin magchange iyong temp light from Red to Blue? Baket ganito pansin ko 2 beses na nangyari sa akin ito eh, nung iniistart ko na iyong sasakyan (from originally red hinintay ko lumipat to blue so ok na) bumalik ulit sa Red iyong templight then blue ulit. Nangyari ito noong nagsastart na iyong engine. Nangyari na ba ito sa inyo? Warning sign ba ito ng kung ano man?

Meron pala akong idadagdag, may kulang pa!

Noong iniistart ko na iyong sasakyan napansin ko din na iyong fuel indicator ko nagturn off (nagpoint sa empty) tapos noong nag on na iyong makina, normal na ulit - fuel indicator pointed upward (kung saan iyong normal nyang fuel level at that time) at iyong red temp light nag shift na ulit to blue.

Sabi kasi sa manual hehehe.

Intially from a coldstart red sya then mag bublue. Blue indicates that the engine is still cold, after several meters mawawala iyong blue ibig sabihin nun normal na iyong temp.

Sign ng overheat ang red, so for example nagtatravel ka na with the temp lamps turned off tapos nag red ibig sabihin nun nagooverheat na ang makina mo.

Ah ok. Thanks for the info. So you have no temp gauge on your meter cluster? Just an idiot light.

^yeah true. But isn't it that even the conventional temp meter once the hand raises above the normal level it's already a sign of an overheating engine?

That's what I experience in my old Nissan California and my dad's Galant Super Saloon. My dad's car though has a few minutes of leeway before it shoots up to the top but as far as I know even if it's pointer is not in the normal position that's already a sign of an engine overheat.

possible na battery yan, kasi dati nung naubos na battery ko nag punta sa full yung needle eh, nung nag park ako 1/4 tank lang. Tapos malaman ko na lang naiwan ko pala bukas yung fog lamps at na discharge na yung battery. maaring symptoms na yan ng malapit ka na magpalit ng battery. Kung may alarm yung sasakyan mo, baka rin alarm.
