Pull over and park when it's safe to do so and shut the engine off before any damage is done. Contact your trusted mechanic for diagnoses.

In most vehicles there are different temperature readings, especially in newer vehicles. The TEMP light usually means the Coolant temperature in the radiator. If a warning light comes on it usually means your vehicle is overheating and should be checked out by a mechanic asap.


Why Ford Escape 2001 Engine Coolant light comes on?

If you are talking about the low coolant light then it is just low of coolant. If you are talking about the coolant temperature light, then the engine is overheating. This car is 7 years old. Have the cooling system serviced. Drain the coolant and flush the system. Install a new thermostat, and add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.

No , the CHECK " GAGE " light comes on if the gas gauge is at or near empty , the engine coolant temperature is HIGH , or the engine oil pressure is LOW


Does the 04 Ford Explorer XLT have a low gas warning light or chime?

I was looking at the 2004 Ford Explorer Owner Guide and it has a picture of a instrument panel that shows a " check gage " light in the upper left corner by the engine coolant temperature gauge . The light comes on if the engine coolant temperature is high , the engine oil pressure is low , or ( the fuel gauge is at or near empty )


Why is the engine temperature light on when the engine is cold?

Likely a faulty coolant temperature sensor. Change the sensor.
