    Coolant Warning Light

    Hi, hope someone can help me out with this;
    I have a '96 Sunfire. The "low coolant" warning light came on, so I
    topped it off with less than a half gallon on mixture, but the warning
    light is still on. Does this indicate a problem not associated with the
    coolant level? The car runs fine and the temp. level is normal.

    Thanks.

    Locate the sensor in the hard plastic overflow bottle (where you
    installed the coolant), and then take a reasonably sized screwdriver
    by the tip and rap the head of the screwdriver against the overflow
    bottle right where the sensor is located. It was common on these
    cars for either an air bubble to get in where the sensor was, or
    maybe they just stick a bit once the coolant level goes down. Anyway,
    most of the time, this is all that the problem is.

    did you fill it up from the radiator cap or the plastic resevore? take
    the radiator cap off the radiator and stick the garden hose in it with
    the motor running for 10-15 minutes. just a trickle off water not a
    blast. fill up the overflow resevore too. the low coolant sensor is in
    the top of the radiato and probably works fine.
