In some cases it has nothing to do with the coolant level, the sensor is faulty

Replace it if you want...but i'm pretty sure 98's are the only year to have one, my 00 doesn't.

If you guys are talking about the sensor on the back of the radiator...Mine went bad, and I just unplugged it and pinned the harness up out of the way. Never had anymore problems.
