Inspire temperature and overheating issues

I'm having trouble with my 2013 Honda Inspire gasoline. At 139335 km, the display shows incorrect temperatures, the check engine light is on and off, and the engine takes forever to warm up. Could a restricted cooling grille or thermal management issue be the cause? Is there a fuse to check? I'm worried about radiator blockage or overheating.

Summary of the thread

A 2013 Honda Inspire was experiencing incorrect temperature readings, intermittent check engine light, and prolonged engine warm-up times. Potential causes included a restricted cooling grille or thermal management issues. A suggestion was made to check the radiator fan and listen for unusual noises. The problem was resolved by replacing a defective fuse related to the cooling grille and thermal management, which fixed the temperature and overheating issues.

I drive an Inspire too, and that sounds familiar. I had similar temperature issues and warm-up delays. Eventually, the car started overheating on longer drives. Did you check if the radiator fan kicks in when the engine gets hot? Any strange noises from the engine bay?

Thanks! I haven't checked the radiator fan, and I haven't heard any weird noises. What was the problem with your car, and how did you fix it? Knowing that will help me understand what to look for and if I should replace anything.

After some research, I took it to a mechanic. There was a partial blockage in the cooling system, maybe scale buildup or debris. It caused inconsistent readings and affected the engine's temperature. I'd recommend a professional check. Better safe than sorry with cooling systems.

I took your advice and went to a workshop. The mechanics found a defective fuse for the cooling grille and thermal management. Replacing it for 52€ fixed everything! Thanks for the advice; it saved me from bigger repairs. Now I can drive without worry!
