Default Low Coolant Light

So we flushed out the old coolant and refilled it and the reserve tank. We let it run without the radiator cap on to bleed it and got rid of all the air. The temp. gauge stays where it should be, the reserve tank is filled to where it is supposed to be but the low coolant light comes on. It's been staying on latley but sometimes it goes out for like 10 mins and comes back on. Whats the problem?

I have been having the same problem you are having, replaced a bad temp sensor that was in the drivers side head and it still does it. It didnt do it before I did my head and cam swap though not sure what it is from i would like some input as well

The low coolent sensors in our cars isnt that great, mine has gone out, and a friend of mine has been through 2, what he and i did is just unplug it from radiator and the light goes out, not worth spending money on a sensor thats gonna go out again, just make sure your coolent is full
