No a stat is not going to throw a light. Low coolant will have a light that says "low coolant." If you think you might need coolant, open the radiator and see if it's low!

mine didnt go on when i went to the 160. you might want to check the coolant resevoir. i spilled quite a bit off coolant when i changed mine, so that might be it. but now that i think about it, youre "low coolant" light would go on, not the SES.
