If the temperature display of your Kia Soul isn't functioning properly, it likely indicates an issue with the thermostat. This component is located in the thermostat housing on the lower coolant line and is responsible for monitoring the coolant temperature in the engine. If the thermostat malfunctions, the engine can overheat, potentially leading to warping or cracking of the head gasket, resulting in costly repairs. If you receive a check engine light warning you about the thermostat problem, it's crucial to address it promptly. A full replacement typically costs around $200, so it's best not to delay the repair.
