Yes it can. A faulty thermostat can cause overheating which will cause coolant to be pushed out of the system.
The coolant sensor moniters the coolant temperature. A faulty thermostat could cause the engine to run cool.
First you have to determine the cause. Could be a faulty thermostat, frozen coolant (insufficient mixture of antifreeze), low on coolant or possibly a bad head gasket.
Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Range/Performance issue... This DTC is usually cause by a faulty coolant senor, but can also mean that your engine's thermostat is malfunctioning.
If the temp gauge reads normal and the engine is not overheating, the thermostat is doing its job. The thermostat maintains the coolant temp by opening and closing allowing the coolant to flow or not to flow. When it is closed the coolant doesn't circulate.
Either a faulty thermostat or you have a low coolant level.
Many things such as low coolant, broken belt, busted hose, no oil, bad radiator, fan not working or a faulty thermostat.
A faulty thermostat or possibly missing thermostat. The thermostat controls the amount of coolant flowing from the water pump through the engine and then to the radiator. If it sticks open it will not let the engine heat up to design temperatures.
Bad thermostat, plugged or damaged radiator, loss of coolant, ignition timing is off, faulty water pump, head gasket... and who knows what other problems can cause overheating.
In order of probablility: low coolant level, faulty thermostat, plugged radiator, damaged water pump, collapsing radiator hose.
Could be, low on coolant, stuck open thermostat, plugged heater core, faulty temp blend door actuator,
Low on coolant. Cooling fans are not operating. Faulty thermostat. Air flow through radiator is restricted. Coolant flow through inside of radiator is restricted. Bad head gasket.
