Water Temp & Battery Level

[Hogan Vinoski]

I have noticed the past two days that my water temp sits slightly higher than 210F as well as my battery level not reaching 14 volts. Is this normal?

 

See image for reference.  I could just be hypersentive from my 2018 SLT leaving me stranded a few times.

My 2019 RST 5.3 sits on 210 and voltage 14v but will fluctuate.  Alternator output is computer controlled and will vary accordingly depending on conditions, voltage and what's being used but should operate within the "normal" lines. Voltage will drop when the battery is fully charged.  Not sure about what temp the 3.0 should run. Someone should chime in.

Most GM vehicles with electric fans are set to 220 degrees before the fans kick in. Same for Corvette.

The other thing to remember is that the computer is continuously monitoring both.

This is normal.
