    Random coolant light coming on

    Well today, 2 different times my check coolant light on the check panel has come on after running the car above 90. Both time's I've pulled over and checked and coolant was full, I replaced the sender the end of last summer. Any ideas?

    perhaps just enough pressure builds up in the system that it pushesany available air in the system to the reservior and pushes the coolant just below the sensor? thought.

      I had this happen and I
      1)unplug the censor
      2)unscrew the censor
      3)wash censor, there are 2 parts like a bobber make sure to get them clean
      4)put back in.


      I guess I could of just said clean censor.

      I bombed Korea every night.

        unplug the Sensor
        unscrew the Sensor
        wash Sensor
        & put back in 8)

          thanks for the suggestions, It scares you pretty good when you doing 110 and you coolant light comes on.
