coolant tank question
I am considering changing my 98 coolant tank with a 2001 painted coolant tank. The 97-99 coolants tanks had a coolant level sensor, the 2000-04's did not. Does anyone know if I will have a constant "Check engine" / "Low level coolant" warning if I change and if so is there an easy way to stop the warning?

If you look in the instrument cluster schematics, it shows the coolant level switch, and states.....the switch is closed(providing a ground) to the IPC, when the coolant level is full. So by jumpering the connector, the IPC thinks the coolant level is full.
