Jacky, that is double posted. back up one and read.
but now its high.
why not check cooling levels, if low the guage will wag high and low.
that is because the gauge cant measure AIR temp, (air in system)
1: engine dead COLD , do not do this on any hot engine.
2: open RAD cap, remove it.
3: gander down in the rad cap hole, see the AF fluid there.
4: is full of AF (antifreeze coolant) YES /NO.
5: if no , the and the proper coolant , do NOT GUESS.
do not mix AF types. or vary bad will happen.

the side overfill tanks on all cars can lie. they can fail or just mess up.
the engine and RAD must be full AND the side tank 1/2 full cold.
all 3. not just one thing.
that is how its done.

no engine option stated, so must answer in the generic, lots of engine options, and not all are the same, not even close.

SOURCE: car stalled. check engine light

1.5 hours is standard for a thermostat. The least they would tell you is an hour which they won't even do that obviously. I would give that a try then see from there. It sounds like it could be the thermostat though it sounds like you could have blown the head gasket by overheating it if it maxed out hot while you were running and all those lights came on.
Hope this helps and if you have a moment to accept and and rate it accordingly I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Lee

good news is it can be changed with no tools in about 2 minutes. just take out the glove box and the cover comes off easy.

SOURCE: 2005 suzuki reno, how do you reset check engine

leave the battery disconnected for a while, 20 min to make sure it resets the computer. If the light is still on then there in an ongoing fault that is getting tripped and turning on the check engine light. Go to an autozone or local autoparts store, they will check it and erase it for you for free.....OBDII scanners aren't cheap.

SOURCE: 07 suzuki reno engine light is on,what does that

The " check engine light" is also known as a malfunction indicator light (MIL). You can disconnect the battery red lead for about 5 min and it will reset. However, if there is a hard fault, it will come back on.

Pull the codes from the computer using an OBD (II) code reader. Match the code to the troubleshooting procedure, follow the procedure to find the source of the fault. After you have repaired the fault, the light will go out if that was the only problem. There are "monitors" or self tests the computer runs the car through a drive cycle, if a problem occurs, it may not run all of the self tests until that problem is taken care. Therefore, another problem may exist.

2006 suzuki reno high beams work but regular lights dont?

One of two things. Check the fuses. If not that, check the switch for low and high beams. Can not be the bulbs, but if a short is present, it could be also.

Cataylic converter 2006 suzuki reno

Your engine's computer has detected a problem with it's engine management controls. The work you had done should have nothing to do with it.
Until you have the computer scanned (with an OBD2 scanner-Autozone will do it for free), you won't know what the check engine light is for. The scan will provide trouble codes for a technician to fix the problem. If it's a simple problem, you may be able to do it yourself. But only the code or codes will tell you why the light is on.
Good luck.
