well my low coollant light has been comming on here and there for a while and now it is pretty much on all the time. I have checked the level and even bleed the bleeder 'thingy'....even filled the overflow and then the first time i drive it some of that ended up on the ground....so it is not low. time for new senser or am I missing something else?

 

You have three options here:
1. new sensor
2. try cleaning your current sensor with a tooth brush and see if that fixes it.
3. Just unplug it from the little black box on the radiator next to the battery.

 

Mine did the same thing a while back. Got a new sensor from Gmpartsdirect and now light is off. I did not try to clean the sensor before I replaced it, but the sensor is only about $35 I believe.

 

Just unplug it. They are notorious for failing and giving false readings. If you unplug it, it will not set a trouble code.

 

I unplugged mine abou 2 weeks ago. I figured that if I was going to spend $35 on a new sensor, it would have to be a LT4 KM. Having a functional low coolant light isn't too much of a priority for me.

 

well then unpluging it it is. thanks for the help.

 

I am having the same problem with my 95 TA. Where is the sensor located at on my car? I want to try and clean it before I just unplug it.

I happened to be at Autozone today, and checked the price: $60.00!!! Forget that. I can just check the level manually!

 

They get dirty and send off false signals. You don't need to worry since the low coolant sensor doesn't go to the PCM it only shows the light on the dash. I wouldnt spend the $35 if cleaning it didn't help and just disconnect it if i were you.

 

Sensor location

Call Jason Cromer. I think I paid something like $20-$30 for mine.

 

Shoe's site shows it for a Camaro, is it in the same place for a TA? Thanks in advance.

Yep, same place as is everything in the engine bay.

 

thanks again for the info....I don't see a need to empty it and take the thing out to clean it til i'm ready for a flush and fill so will problaby jsut unplug it for now. I did look the other day and saw it in there but then the car had other problems and is in the shop for them now!!
