* Can indicate contamination or internal engine issues

* **Radiator fan problems**

* Fan not turning on when engine gets hot
* Loud fan noises

* Weak heat inside the cabin can sometimes point to cooling system problems

* **Sweet or burning smell**

# # # What a Mechanic Usually Checks

A cooling system inspection often includes:
