Default Help me out

For the last month or so every time my Coupe is on an incline in the road the low coolant message on the DIC comes on. As soon as I get level it goes off. Do I need to worry or should I take it to the shop to have it cecked out? Thanx in advance.

You can check the level yourself. It sounds like either a little low on coolant(light only pops on on an incline) or you have an air bubble in the system.

I dropped my '98 coupe off at the dealer today for the same thing (and other minor issues), I'll let you know what they find and what the fix was. In my case, the coolant level was fine, so I'm thinking it's either an air bubble in the system or a faulty sensor.
