Ok I have a 96 trans am and this light just came on yesterday morning. I checked everything and my coolant level is fine and I cant find any type of leak anywhere. So you think its possible its just that sensor? I wasnt sure cause I have 78k miles and I didnt know if it would go bad that quick?

 

very possible
mine went out at 45k

 

they go out alot i would just dissconnect it or you maybe replaceing them often. if anything gets on it then the light will come on

 

yeah the sensor always %^&s up just check levels periodically after disconnecting to make sure you have coolant. Also if the light only comes on when you first start your car when its cold and then doesnt come on when you start it warm you may have air in the system.

 

Well it first it didnt come on right away but now it comes on as soon as I start it. I did bleed the system just to make sure. But ill proly just end up disconnecting it.

 

coolant sensor died, its right under the radiator cap.
They always go bad, happened twice in my old Z28 and I replaced it on my SS within 2 weeks of having it.

 

Don't just unplug it. Replace it. It's a $15 part. Do it right and you'll be happier in the long run.

 

hmmm....i had wondered why my LOW COOLANT light has been on for a year
