Your check engine light will not come on because your coolant needs to be changed. The only way to be totally sure why it is on you should get it checked with a computer at a dealer or service station. The check engine light may come on if it is over heating because there is no coolant in it but not if it just has to be changed.
Does a blown head gasket affect the heater from getting hot?
When a head gasket blows, it most often causes a lose of coolant either in the exhaust or the oil. When the coolant drops, there is not enough to circulate through the heater core. The engine may over heat but no heat will come out of the heater because there is no coolant in it.

What does the cooling system do within the engine?
It cycles coolant through the engine. Heat from the engine is transferred to the coolant through a heat exchange. The heated coolant then cycles through the system to the radiator, where heat from the coolant undergoes another heat exchange, transferring heat from the coolant to the air which passes through the radiator. Heat will also transfer from the motor to the air forced over the motor by the engine fan.

Why does coolant light come on when coolant level is ok on 2001 Mazda tribute?
I have a 2003 that has that same problem. After dealing with this issue for a year, I finally took it to the dealer and they determined that it was the coolant cap. So they installed a brand new cap and the coolant light hasn't come on since it was installed, just over a month. Another possibility: The sensor in the coolant reservoir has been known to go bad according to Mazda Parts Dept. The sensor and reservoir and sold as one part. I replaced mine and the light went off.
