Why would a message Coolant Sensor Bad still flash on the panel of a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee after replacing the coolant level sensor?
There is one in the reservoir and one in the coolant tank. They probably replaced the one in the reservoir. My 96 is doing the same thing and the dealership replaced the one in the reservoir but the message is still coming up. I found out on another forum that it is the one in the tank that needs replaced. So I would check that out. Hope this helps. if its not the sensor,its the sensor plug.if that doesn't help it is the connection to the computer on the firewall.its in back of the coolant reservoir.ive never heard of the tank thing,no such thing also if there is air in your system, (air will enter from leaks in your system) when the air passes the sensor it throws out bad coolant sensor code, due to the rapid temp. change from that air bubble, if there is air in the system and not pumped out it can cause a blown head gasket, very expensive replacement
Would using water instead of coolant cause engine to over heat?
Water is coolant!!! Pre mixed coolant comes with anti freeze and sometimes a rust inhibitor, other than that it does same job. Common sense being your guide. Do not use straight water during the winter. Varying ratios of water mixed to antifreeze will actually increase the boiling point in both winter and summer and is more benficial in summer in terms of cooling function. More Coolant/antifreeze less water (mixed) increases boiling point correspondingly. It is of greater benfit to use coolant/antifreeze in your engine because it prevents rust and corrosion in the various parts of cooling system and heating system (heater) and increases the boiling point. Check the coolant/antifreeze container for instructions on mixtures and learn from it.

Yes it is.
Why does my 1991 dodge spirit says its over heating when it is not?
My 1992 Spirit does the exact same thing... its either the Coolant Temperature Sensor that screws into the engine or as in my case a faulty Temp Gauge.
