The coolant fan continues to run after the engine has cooled and then turned off.
The fan continues to run and runs the battery down.
Low coolant, failed waterpump, stuck thermostat, missing belt, inoperative fan, plugged radiator.
A bad head gasket certainly can, as coolant will continually leak out, eventually causing overheating, yes.
Several possibilities - from easiest to most expensive: Faulty or inoperable radiator cooling fan - causing overheating. Faulty thermostat - causing overheating. Water pump failure - causing overheating. Blown head gasket - allowing exhaust gasses to escape into the cooling system and expelling the coolant.
chk coolant, chk coolant hose to turbo if it's a turbo. my hose was leaking causing overheating. My 2006 had a clogged heater core causing flow problems. Also the cooling fan is known to fail after 100k miles.
Coolant level is probably low, Have it checked for an antifreeze leak.
If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.
Protects, no. The only temp sensor is the coolant temp sensor. The car will run until the engine is ruined if allowed to continue overheating.
The Jeep Cherokee can overheat due to several factors, including low coolant levels, a malfunctioning thermostat, a damaged radiator, or a failing water pump. Clogged hoses or a faulty cooling fan can also impede proper airflow and coolant circulation, leading to overheating. Regular maintenance, including checking coolant levels and inspecting the cooling system, is essential to prevent these issues. If overheating occurs, it's important to address it promptly to avoid engine damage.
no coolant leak. no smoke or steam. no water in oil. overheats about every 125 miles. auto trans. cold air.
The light is not a coolant light, it is a temperature light which comes on when the temperature of the coolant is above the limits. In other words you engine is overheating. Can be defective thermostat, bad water pump, clogged radiator, or blown head gasket.
If you replaced the coolant reservoir and are still experiencing overheating, there could be several other issues at play. Potential causes include a malfunctioning thermostat that isn't opening properly, a failing water pump that isn't circulating coolant effectively, or a blockage in the cooling system. Additionally, check for air pockets in the cooling system or possible leaks elsewhere that could be leading to insufficient coolant levels.
Bad gasket or overheating of the engine. Check cylinder compression and seals.
