Re: low coolant light

Probably bad sensor or sensor not plugged in: Check Radiator top corner, pass side. I believe you can get a replacement at Autozone. JMHO

Re: low coolant light

The sensor has gone bad. Its a common problem. You can either replace it, try to clean it, or simply unplug it. If you unplug it your light will go out and you wont throw any codes.

I unplugged mine! Its located on the passenger side of the radiator, near the battery, below the fill cap.

Re: low coolant light

I got the same problem only on a 95. I had the radiator replaced and since then the light has been on. I think they forgot to plug the sensor back in.
