Default Coolant level sensor

Where is the coolant level sensor for the computer? Visually I can see the coolant level is fine but the computer says its low.

Yes, it is in the radiator, if your coolant is full, then the sendor is bad. Just unplug it, it will stop the light.

It is located on the left side, little low. If I remeber correctly

I was getting the "low Coolant level" DIC warning. The dealer had to replace the coolant surge tank, so I'm assuming the sensor is located in the surge tank, as that corrected the problem.

Default Coolant low sensor

The sensor is located on the bottom of the coolant tank. There is a plug that you can see that connects to the sensor. Sometimes it gets corroded or broken. The sensor is an integral part of the tank.

I had the same problem- Replace the coolant tank. The sensor plugs into the bottem of it and there is a "float" inside the tank. the Float was stuck on mine. If you order a new tank it comes with a new sensor
