    pot hole = coolant light

    So I live in Boston and have a tendency to find some decent pot holes in my travels. Tonight I hit a pretty nice one and it turned on my coolant light up above the mirror.

    I pulled over and nothing is dripping out the bottom and the tank is still at the level it was. I am going to keep an eye on the level but should I be concerned? the temp didn't rise at all on the rest of my way home.

    I am going to start commuting 1hr round trip tomorrow so I am little concerned.

    If the coolant level is okay, the level sensor my be stuck or has failed. That's not significant as long as you aren't loosing coolant and the engine isn't running hot.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.
