If there is no sensor it is not measured. There would be no other practical place to measure such a thing. My 2001 (or any LS1 car that I can recall working on) does not have this sensor though each LT1 car I have worked on did have it.

I just got a light on mine, but coolant level is good. What did you use to clean it? Or did you just wipe it down with a rag and put it back in? It would be nice if I could clean it and save $40 over buying a new one...
