Only warning those motors have is overheat. Weak impeller, thermostat, water flow restriction or it could be a faulty warning horn or even a partially blown head gasket.......OPTI

Take your temperature sensor out and clean it.

Sounds like a thermostat could have trash in it or may be stuck open. Always a good idea to replace the water pump impeller every other year. I do some bass diehards every year.
