Where it shows the digital reading for the time and miles its showing (coolant and next to that shows the temp, but the temp keeps going up. It starts at 87f then when it reaches 190f it stops. It has no leak the fuses are all okay the hoses are not warn. And it not showing that the car is over heating nor does it show the thermator indicating that it is overheating. What could it be. I'm sorry but I lost my job recently trying to get my job back I really dont have anything now. Sorry plse give me a response to my question.

It doesn't sound like a problem. The engine operates at 190-195 degrees. Thermostat opens in that range.

Cooling fans should come on at around 200 degrees.

Make sure your coolant recovery tank is full.
