Stevie Wayne Posted December 13, 2025 Share Posted December 13, 2025 Please excuse me if I posted this but I cannot find the post, MKZ thinks it is running hot but it is not! Does anyone know what could be wrong? My Granddaughters as a 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. At times the car will run down the road just fine then after 75 to 200 miles the car gives a warning on the dash that flashes Get off road safely now”, and the car looses acceleration speed and falls off two about 30 mph and you have to pull off the road. After doing this if you turn the key off and Waite about a minute you can then start the car back up and be on your way. Then you are on your way as normal for about another ½ mile. This process keeps repeating the process over and over. We have tested the temperature in all the water hoses and they are NOT showing overheating. We have replaced water thermostat, And most and the indicator water sensors in the event some of them could be reading incorrectly. And we have reset the error codes and are getting no new error messages when this happens. One question I have is does anyone know where I could get a diagram of location of the sensor’s with voltage to check voltage output. Bottom line is the car thinks it is running hot but it is not! Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thank you in advance for your opinion Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
