Cooling Issue

[juanleanos2]

a couple days ago I was driving like normal and decided to do a little pull. mid pull the car started throwing a pre collision assist not available error with the wrench Light and car went into limp mode, as well as all the drive modes and exhaust mode not available. I noticed the transmission was running pretty hot as I can smell it in the cabin it was about 235 degrees Fahrenheit. I pulled over let it cool down and when I turned it back on the check engine light was on. I kept it parked for a while then it drove like normal, I realized it's been running hot cylinder head temps at around 205 on normal driving below 60mph and driving for no more than 20 minutes and transmission would run about 198 range. I took it to the dealer, and they said they had to "update the system" I the checked on my own and saw the radiator fan was not turning on at all. does anyone know what could be happening?

are you 100% sure that the radiator isn’t turning on? Because that might be your issue. Have that checked out before you damage the motor.

Yeah I’ve checked multiple times even when I turn the ac on nothing with the fan but I figured since the pre collision error came on first then the radiator fans not working I hope it’s nothing bigger like part of the electrical harness shorting out or anything somewhere in the front end electrical wise

If this is your 2023 Mustang I say take it in to a dealer to get checked out. You dont want to overheat and damage the motor or transmittion.
