What steps should be taken before assuming the thermostat is the cause of a cooling system problem on 1997 Mazda MPV?

In case of the thermostat cooling problems, verify the level of the coolant, drivebelt tension, and temperature gauge. In case the engine heats slowly, then the thermostat can be open. In case it overheats, inspect upper radiator hose. Cruising without thermostat will result in emissions and fuel economy problems.
