There is a coolant level sensor in the bottom of the coolant tank. If the tank has enough coolant, then the sensor is bad.

You should locate that info in the manual, also putting water in the winter is a bad idea since the water could freeze causing engine damage. I supposed you might be able to run it for a while in the summer with just water but get the leak fixed and put in the recomended antifreeze/coolant
