Clipper Engine Overheating

Hi, I'm experiencing engine overheating and the check engine light is on with my 2020 Nissan Clipper (gasoline engine). It has 249665 km on the clock. I've checked the radiator fan, and it doesn't seem to be spinning as it should. I've heard the speed sensor could be defective. Any ideas?

Summary of the thread

The conversation revolves around an engine overheating issue in a 2020 Nissan Clipper, with the check engine light on. The radiator fan is not functioning properly, and a defective speed sensor is suspected. Suggestions include checking the thermal switch, fan blade, and ensuring the fan motor is receiving power. Ultimately, taking the vehicle to a mechanic for a professional diagnosis and potential sensor replacement is advised.

Hey! I had a similar issue with my Clipper. Check the thermal switch and the fan blade itself, they might be the culprits. Is the fan motor getting power?

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll check the thermal switch. How did you determine that the fan motor was getting power? Any specific tests you did?

I didn't do any fancy tests, just visually inspected the wiring for damage and then I took it to a workshop. The mechanics diagnosed it quickly and the fan started working again after they replaced the sensor.

Thanks, that's helpful! I think I'll skip messing around with the electrics and just take it to a mechanic. Sounds like it could be the speed sensor after all. The estimated repair cost is around 250€. Appreciate the advice!
