If you are absolutely sure there are no external leaks then you probably have a weak head gasket and the coolant is being pulled into the cylinders and burned with the fuel.
Found after removing and replacing the sensor and bottle still had error finally drained radiator and added correct coolant mixture in radiator, indicator went away. Appear I had a weak mixture of coolant and water in radiator, which kept giving me the "ENGINE COOLANT LOW' I guess it really was low in coolant

The heat is not working because you are very low on coolant, probably because of the leak. Seems to me that it should leak worse when it is running, so I am going to assume you are talking about the coolant overflowing the reservoir, in which case goes back to you being low on coolant and the engine boiling the coolant.
low coolant ,froze thermostat ,leaks in hoses ,radiator
The coolant level is low.The coolant level is low.
Yes, If to much leaks out this will cause the engine to over heat, smoke and or stall hence the name engine COOLant :)
During winter, the coolant in your engine may be contracting due to cold temperatures, triggering the low coolant signal. When the temperature rises above 30 degrees, the coolant expands, which could alleviate the low coolant signal issue. It is recommended to check the coolant level and address any leaks to prevent potential engine damage.
The low coolant message on your 2004 Saturn Ion indicates that the engine coolant level is below the minimum required threshold. This could be due to a leak, evaporation, or insufficient coolant added during maintenance. It's essential to address this warning promptly, as low coolant levels can lead to engine overheating and potential damage. Check the coolant reservoir and refill it if necessary, and investigate any possible leaks.
If coolant leaks onto an engine it will cause no damage unless it leaks onto the alternator or into a wire harness connector of some sort. It is best to clean up leaked coolant as much as possible. It will smell a little when the motor is started. Leaked coolant on the ground is a danger to animals and children as it has a sweet smell but is very toxic.
You have a failed gasket, seal, or hose.
That means the engine is running HOT. Need to check the coolant level and check for coolant leaks.
yes, especially if the leak is causing coolant to leak, you can run out of coolant. then overheat.
To check the coolant on a Suzuki 800 Intruder, locate the coolant reservoir, typically positioned near the right side of the bike, near the engine. Ensure the engine is cool, then inspect the coolant level through the transparent reservoir; it should be between the "low" and "full" marks. If the level is low, add the appropriate type of coolant as specified in the owner's manual. Always check for any signs of leaks or damage in the cooling system.
Low coolant would be because the coolant is low or the sensor has failed, Check engine light would be because the computer has detected a problem and set a code.
