If your asking this question its probably a good idea that you bring it into the shop to have the levels checked. DO NOT try to check your own coolant when the engine is still hot, this will send coolant bursting into the air. This is if you have any lol. Check your cars temperature gauge while your drive, if its starts getting warmer than normal then you need a cooland change.
Check coolant level in coolant recovery tank and radiator
Check your coolant first, if it's not low then replace coolant level sensor
water level sinsor defective
There will be a light that comes on situated in the dashboard.
Check your coolant sensor for built up sludge, or the sensor may need replacement.
The light is not a coolant light, it is a temperature light which comes on when the temperature of the coolant is above the limits. In other words you engine is overheating. Can be defective thermostat, bad water pump, clogged radiator, or blown head gasket.
it is low or out off coolant.
If you are talking about the low coolant light then it is just low of coolant. If you are talking about the coolant temperature light, then the engine is overheating. This car is 7 years old. Have the cooling system serviced. Drain the coolant and flush the system. Install a new thermostat, and add a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and distilled water.
i have found that with my 97 sable the low coolant light comes on when my oil is low. same as your car can run hot when your extremely low or out of oil
Fill your coolant to the level that it should be at. If it still comes on when the coolant is at its proper area, then it is an improper sensor. You will need to have it replaced immediately to reset the sensor.
When the low coolant warning light comes on and the car has enough coolant, it usually means there is a problem with the coolant level sensor system. The sensor may need to be replaced.
when the engine is cool, check the anti-freeze level. it may be low.
