Check gauges light and overheating

Asked by GuruCHTR3 Feb 21, 2019 at 05:58 PM about the 1998 Ford Explorer 4 Dr XLT 4WD SUV

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I was sitting with my explorer running and then out of
nowhere my check gauges light came on and my car said it
was overheating but it's not really overheating because it's
still running completely fine. And even after it sits in the
cold all night the car already says it's still overheated when
I start it but I know it's not overheating but don't understand
why my check gauges light is on and car still says
overheating does anybody know?
