    Hey guys, I'm just kinda throwing this out there. I looked all around and couldn't find an answer to this so here goes. when my car gets warm and I drive it for about idk 10 miles the Low Coolant light starts flashing, then stays on. I've done just about everything there is to do with it. Reset the codes, changed the radiator, cap, and lines. Then did the thermostat with a 180 and bled the valve. I also filled it to the brim, running and not running with 50% coolant and 50% water. It's still showing up. Then I drained it, flushed it, and filled it with all water. ran it 2 hrs. Flushed it again, and then put all coolant, then flushed it again and filled it back up with 50/50. I know that seems like a waste of money and everything but literally everything I could think of I've done. Is there anything I'm forgetting let me know because it's really irritating seeing that light on lol. Thanks everyone!

    The sensor has crap stuck in it, just unplug it and the light will stay off and you just have to check your coolant like normal. Its under the rad neck.
