Is an overfilled way above MAX mark antifreeze reservoir tank will cause harm to the engine?

It should be ok as there is nothing too terrible in the coolant. Excess antifreeze will just overflow. Try and get some out. Antifreeze can cause paint issues if the concentration is high enough...RR

Can check engine light go on w low antifreeze?
Doubtful !... The antifreeze is added to the radiator - to keep the water above freezing point. There is no way of the engine knowing how much antifreeze is circulating.
What is the function of the cooling fan?
Keep the engine coolant or antifreeze from rising above its operational temperature.
Would lack of antifreeze cause engine shutdown?
In the event that it over-heats and seizes, then yes. If your cooling fliud is plain water, and the engine hasn't frozen, then lack of antifreeze should not affect things in the short term. It is obviously desirable to have antifreeze in cold weather so the the enginge doesn't freeze. As above, if there is no cooling fluid at all, the engine will over-heat and sieze up.

Where is the sensor capteur d'air sensor part?
On my 350ci chevy, it is above/beside the starter on the engine block. BE CAREFUL or you will get a face full of antifreeze!
Have a 1995 Explorer XLT that smells like antifreeze every time you stop it although most of the time there is not antifreeze missing Any Suggestions?
You could have to much coolant in your reservoir tank. If it is above the fill line it will come out of the overflow. Some of this overflow could get onto your engine and be causing the odor your smelling. Good Luck! It could be a leak, and the anti-freeze "steam" can only enter the car when stopped. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker?UseCase=S001&UserAction=viewSimpleDiagInfo&Parameters=info

Is it safe to use water only in the radiatorof a 2000 mercury mountaineer?
Just in the case of an emergency ( and if the temperature is above freezing ) Straight water has no corrosion protection for your engine cooling system like a 50 / 50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( although the corrosion protection of antifreeze does " wear out " )
Oil Reservoir SC2?
Saturns are not equipped with a "oil" reservior. The only reserviors located under the hood should be as follows. Lower left corner is your wash fluid Just above that is your antifreeze/coolant. Upper left corner on the engine is Power steering fluid. Upper right corner on the firewall is your Brake fluid Upper right corner to the right of your brake fluid is the Clutch, if equipped with a manual transmission.
