Coolant Light Coming on Hey guys i have a question, my coolant light comes on, and then if i turn the car off snd back on it turns off. It usually does it after the car sits and gets cold, then when i start it, the coolant light will come on. Then once the car is heated up, and if i turn it off, and back on, the coolant light goes off. There is coolant in there and everything, so what could be the problem.

The sensor has crapped out. I have just unplugged mine, instead of handing over $40 to GM everytime. The light will always be off. I believe in 2001, GM relized it was a piece of junk and got rid of it on the 01 & 02 F-Bodies.

The wire just plugs into it and the sensor is held in place with a clip. Some people have reported having luck just cleaning the face of the sensor and re-installing it.

If you have a 98/99, just pull it off. After 99, GM stopped installing them on the LS1 (i think)
Mine came on ('99) but everything was fine. So i just unplugged it, call it the !Sensor weight reduction mod
