Best Answer

Your radiator is probably leaking Transmission Fluid into your coolant. Trans cooler is built into the radiator. Replace the radiator.

Either the cap is bad, your tank is either cracked at the seam or it has a pin hole that you can't see and the coolant is vaporizing ( steam ).

Why is the low coolant light on in the 1997 Pontiac Transport?

1) You actually have a low coolant level. Top off your radiator, bleed out the air in the system, and check the LOW COOLANT light again. 2) The coolant level sensor, located on the coolant recovery tank, has gone bad or became disconnected. Check to see if it is connected. If it is disconnected, plug it in and check for the LOW COOLANT light. If it IS connected, disconnect it and verify that the LOW COOLANT light is still on. While you're in there, check the underside of the oil and radiator caps for sludging or a milky substance which may indicate the intake manifold gasket failure common to these vans equipped with the 3.4L engine.
