Asked by Phillip
The temperature gauge in my 2005 Mitsubishi Pajero goes up to high after one mile and then goes back to normal again.
Answered by CarsGuide
13 Sep 2024Unless your engine is overheating very quickly and then miraculously cooling instantly, I’d say there’s a problem with either the temperature gauge itself or the sender/sensor unit that controls it.
An auto electrician will be able to test the gauge and its sensor and tell you what’s happening. Scanning the vehicle electronically might also reveal the cause as the onboard computer may have logged this odd reading as a fault code.
