Coolant Indicator Hey guys, long time reader first time poster...
A little bit of background info:
Purchased a 99' Z28 with 166K miles from a family member who took very good care of the car.
As the title states, the coolant indicator light pops up after the car warms up a bit (15-20 miles) - temperature gauge reads normal - coolant level is normal - I have already changed out the thermostat and the coolant temperature sensor (not sure if this is the correct terminology) - Picked up both parts from "Autozone" (Quality Parts - I'm sure!)
Anyway, other than the possibility that either the thermostat or coolant temperature sensor is bad - What else could cause the indicator to light up?
Regards,

Is it the "low coolant" message??? If it is the sensor for that is a little rectangle piece below the radiator cap a couple inches. pull it and clean it and if that doesn't work replace it.......
