Default LS1 Coolant Idiot Light Temp Trigger

Does anyone know the temperature that trips the coolant warning light on a LS1 engine? FWIW, it is from a 2000 Trans Am.

Doing a conversion and need to know this for VDO sender.


Thanks,
Ted

Thats for sure. The stock 944 sender is set up to have the analog needle gauge and a warning light that trips at around 115, if I recall correctly. That 115 is for the turbo four banger. I know that I am going to need something hotter than that but dont know what stock GM trigger point is. I wonder what is programmed in the ECU stock?
