Starting to overheat

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.com.

First, can you tell me if the heating problem is happening at highway speeds, only in town speeds, or speed does not matter?

Next, here are some quick checks for you.

Make sure the coolant level is clean and full in both the radiator and overflow. (Do Not Open the Radiator or reservoir until the engine is cool)

Make sure the cooling fans are turning on when the temperature starts to raise.

Make sure the accessory belt on the engine is tight

Make sure there are no obstructions blocking air flow to the radiator.

Here are a couple links to look through. See if there is anything helpful.
