Low coolant light
ok, I am starting to think this will never go away.
I replaced the low collent sensor+ cleaned the hole I did a complete coolent flush. I bled all the air out of the system. checked coolent level which seems fine. Anyone have any other idea's to what I can do next besides stabbing a screwdriver through the light on my dash?

Re: Low coolant light
What brand coolant did you have before the coolant flush and when the issue first started?

Re: Low coolant light
Also, did you inspect the wiring to the sensor?

Re: Low coolant light
Also what you can do is measure the voltage on the connector, should have 5 volts or 12 volts dc.

Re: Low coolant light
All sensors use a 5v reference voltage from the PCM, do you have that with the ignition ON?

Re: Low coolant light
I had the same problem as you with my 99 GTP. The sensor itself was bad.
I think the new one was around $35. You have to take out the battery to get the new one in there. |

Just for reference gentlemen you will have 12 volts at ignition to on at the sensor electrical connector. There are two wires. Black/white which is chassis ground and a yellow/black which is the center pin of the electrical connector. The yellow/black wire is hot which comes from the IP cluster. The sensor is actually a P.O.S. and the circuit very basic even worthless. All the level sensor does is send a ground when coolant level is abnormal to the IP Cluster which in turn illuminates the low coolant warning light.
