P0597 Code: Thermostat Heater Control Circuit / OpenDiagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0597 code stands for “Thermostat Heater Control Circuit/Open.”
What Does It Mean When the Engine Is Hot While the AC Is Off?If you’re wondering how your engine gets so hot even if the air conditioning is off, then there are many explanations as to why. Usually, it’s due to a lack of coolant. In other cases, the culprit for an overheating engine is broken parts. Here are some of the potential

Coolant TemperatureEngine RPMFuel LevelOil PressureTransmission temperatureTire PressureWheel SpeedVoltmeter
Common Triggers of the Check Gauges Light
What Causes a Car to Overheat When Idling?Leaving your AC running may contribute to this problem because the car’s AC forces the engine to work harder. These factors combined can make the engine overheat very quickly. A simple solution would be to turn off the AC in hopes of lowering the temperature of the engine, but if
