Low coolant light - no engine check light
I have a low coolant light on - no check engine light is on however. I have refilled the reservoir which did not help.
When that did not work, I removed the cap when the engine was cold. Then I ran it until the engine warmed and the thermostat opened. I thought an air bubble could have formed blocking coolant.
The engine temp guage is normal and the engine is not running hot/cold.
Any ideas?
A few weeks ago I changed some other sensors including; cam sensor, knock sensor, oil pressure switch.
Is it possibel that my engine temp/coolant sensor is also bad; where is this located? On the side of the block on the drivers side in front?

Unplug it. It'll come on again even with a new sensor. I went through this with my `99 and the only way to get rid of the light for good is to unplug the sensor. `00+ doesn't even have the "low coolant" sensor anymore because of this problem.
Yeah, it's on the passenger side of the radiator. You can remove the battery to get a better veiw/better access to it.
