I've been driving in the 90 and 100 degree heat quite alot in the last week.
Some time ago I had my Low Coolant light intermittently coming on and cannot remember what I ultimately did to chase away the problem. It seems like maybe I had just flushed the cooling system and had to work out an airpocket or some such.
This morning the light came on and once investigating coolant level, it was only down about a half inch at the radiator neck. I topped it off and the light continued to come and go. Coolant temp was normal.
I normally park on a ramp that has been converted to a single parking space in our office garage (I call this my armored parking space.) I back up the ramp, I expect it is something like a fifteen degree angle. I'm curious if an air pocket could have formed. When I got to the office I drove UP the ramp so that the neck will be at the highest point. I will check it when cool before I leave the office today.
Where is the low coolant sensor and what does it consist of? Is it a resistivity measurement or is it electromechanical?
Thanks for any help or sharing of your experiences with this gizmo.
Have a great day,
