Water pumps and thermostats control coolant circulation and operating temperature. A leak, seized pump, failed electric pump or incorrect thermostat operation can create very different symptoms.
Many modern vehicles use electronically controlled thermostats or electric water pumps, so scan data and commanded testing can be part of the diagnosis.
