Basically, this seals the coolant expansion tank. It keeps pressure in the system right, and prevents coolant from leaking out—or worse, air getting in. It also usually has a pressure relief valve built into it. That valve lets out excess pressure if things get too hot, preventing damage to hoses or the radiator itself. Think of it as a safety valve for your cooling system. The expansion tank is part of your cooling system, and this cover is the top of it. The system takes heat away from the engine, and as things heat up, the coolant expands. This tank gives that expanded coolant somewhere to go. The cover maintains that closed system, keeps the pressure consistent, and makes sure everything’s working as it should. It's a small part, but essential to keeping everything cool. If this cover fails, you’ll notice if you’ve got coolant leaks. Or, if the pressure relief valve is bad, you could have overheating issues. Too much pressure builds up, potentially blowing a hose or damaging the radiator. It’s one of those things that can cause a small problem to become a really big, expensive one if you ignore it.
