If theres adequate levels of coolant in the radiator and the reservoir, most likely your sensor is faulty. Run an ohm meter on there and see if it's reading right, if not you know that's it. Good luck

I had the same problem a couple years ago. In my situation the sensor itself was intermittent. The coolant was fine, but the damn thing would buzz every 5 minutes..

Very annoying.
