What is the warning indicator for radiator or coolant problems?

What are you asking; what the function of the warning system(s) are or what could be causing it/them to turn on? In general: Most cooling systems only have warning systems for excessive temperatures, i.e temeprature gauge and/or warning lights. Some may have a warning system for low coolant levels in the expansion (header) tank also. In rare cases, there are systems for cooling system pressure and glycol dilution levels. If any one of these systems are active, it indicates either a fault in the cooling system or prehaps in the sender unit and/or warning system itself, i.e. high temp warnings upon a cold start. Signs of cooling systems problems are a regular loss of coolant, high engine operating temps, ineffective cooling fans, pregnant hoses, a hot smelling motor when running, peeling paint on the rad itself etc If you are a little more specific prehaps I can help more. Thanks, CHarlie

What does warning light with waves under it on dashboard mean?
If it is a car with waves under it then it is a slip indicator. If it is just waves it can be low coolant or low windshield fluid. It can also be rear defroster indicator. Need better description and make, model, and year of vehicle to be sure.
On your vauxhall vectra 04 a warning light has just started it looks like a square tank with water half full in it but your radiator is ok?
I'm guessing, but the coolant level sensor is probably in the overflow bottle and it is low. This is so you notice it before the radiator itself is low.

Most newer cars have the coolant sensor in the overflow bottle. Filling this will probably take care of it. Where the coolant is going is another issue. Head gas kit

On a 1995 Chevy Cavalier what is a warning light that comes on and off which has an arrow pointing down over some water or fluid level?
It is the radiator warning light. Usually it indicates low radiator fluid level. I have had this come on when I have had some minor radiator leaks leading to radiator coolant level going down.

The sensor in the reservoir is probably bad. It is located in the bottom of the reservoir and fairly easy to change.
What is the red warning light in the bottom right corner of the fuel gauge in my 1095 peugeot 205?
Hallo.. the light is a temperature indicator. It shows something that looks like a radiator cap. Check your coolant level or whether your fans are working. Sort it out and you will never see it come on again.
What does the red warning light that looks like a square with waves in it and an arrow in it pointing down in a 1999 Oldsmobile intrigue stand for?
Most likely that light is a low coolant warning light. Check the coolant lvls in the radiator and coolant resevour when the car is cold( has not been run for a few hours). The coolant in the radiator should be very close the the top and the resevour should be somewhere between the cold and hot marks. Do not make these checks when the car is hot as you could be burned badly.

The coolant light should be going out when the system is filled. The sensor itself or the float system is probably bad.
