Question

96 Z-28 Warning Light

I just got a warning light on my 96 Z it's the little warning on the tach that has a box w/ a wavy line running through the bottom and an arrow pointing down into it. I assume it is some kind of low fluid level warning light. I checked the wiper fluid, coolant level and the oil and they are at normal levels. What does this light mean and what could cause it? I do not have an owners manual in the car and am at work now so I can't check my service manual. I am thinking it is a faulty sensor somewhere but want to be sure.

That is the light for the low coolant. You probably don't have low coolant. Check it again, then go to the parts store and get a new sensor. They go bad all the time.

That's right-it's on the passenger side tank of the radiator, below the fill cap, on the side closest to the engine.
