Default Low coolant sensor..

My friend has a 97 Z, and the coolant light keeps coming on and the fluids are all full. I think that the sensor is bad, I have heard that this is a problem in our cars. Any info on where I can find one, how to swap them would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

I had the same problem in my 99. I got mine from the dealer and it was pretty easy to replace.

I have that problem too, but it hasn't gone off in a while. Dealer said it was a sensor, but I never had it fixed, I just ignore the light.
