A hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) cooling system includes an engine cooling circuit configured to cool an engine by circulation of coolant cooled by an engine heat exchanger using an engine water pump. An engine reservoir tank is configured to temporarily store the coolant cooled by the engine heat exchanger and replenish insufficient coolant. An HEV cooling circuit is configured to cool an inverter and motor by circulation of coolant cooled by an HEV heat exchanger using an HEV water pump. An HEV reservoir tank is configured to temporarily store the coolant cooled by the HEV heat exchanger and replenish insufficient coolant. A connector (30) configured to intermittently connect the engine cooling circuit to the HEV cooling circuit. An engine coolant amount detection sensor and an HEV coolant amount detection sensor are respectively configured to detect amounts of the coolant stored in the engine and HEV reservoir tanks.
