When someone say's "Check the coolant level" they simply mean to open the hood and look at that little white bottle on the passenger side fender to make sure that the bottle is full of coolant/water mixture. It has a line on it that say's "Full When Hot". If the light on the dash stays on and the bottle is full, shake the bottle, the float inside the bottle is stuck.
because your coolant level is too low. put some antifreeze in it......
it takes dex-cool coolant,
It is in the bottom of the over flow tank.
It is at the bottom front of the coolant reservoir.
no cap, just the coolant tank, add to this to add coolant../
check coolant sensor float most common problem.
The coolant level sensor is bad
If you are checking the coolant level at the overflow bottle, it may look normal (between the low & high marks). But the coolant level sensor is mounted on the passenger side of the radiator, down several inches from the top. In other words, you need to check the coolant level AT the radiator cap, but only when the engine is COLD. If it is OK at that point and the overflow bottle, then the coolant level sensor most likely needs to be replaced.
Low coolant level.
underneath the coolant tank, it should be easy to see.
dex-cool coolant is used in most 3.1 engines,
bad coolant level sensor in either side or bottom of plasit coolant resivoir,
