Default What is this light?

Ok so I haven't had the car very long, and I can't figure out what this light is.. trans fluid, coolant or brake fluid (dont think its this but could be).
I've checked the trans fluid and coolant and both are normal.
I've attached a poor paint drawing of what the light looks like, its above the needle on the tach. what is this light? thanks for the help.

That's the low coolant light. I have seen it twice. First time, i was low on coolant. Second time, it was full.

Bad sensor if your coolant level is fine, would be my guess.

A new sensor takes less than 5 minutes to install and is less than 30 bucks...my suggestion would be to just replace.
