Default overheating problem

Hello All,

I am a new owner of a 1995 sc400 for a about a month now , which i love the car ... I need some help concerning yesterday my car started having overheating problems while i was sitting in traffic . The temp got really hot of course while standing still but then cooled down when I started driving. I checked the coolant level which is good but the fan coolant is low which I will be re-filling. I don't have any leaks and which the is first issue I am having with her since purchasing. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

check to see that both coolant hoses are the same temp at normal operating temp. if they are not similar in heat range then thermostat or clogged radiator. check your fan to make sure its working properly

thanks, appreciate the feedback. Hoping its just a thermostat or the coolant sensor switch. Water pump was replaced about a year ago so hoping for a easy fix.
