Supreme Cutlass Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Every so often, my the coolant light comes on, but there's still plenty in the reservoir. Why isn't it taking any out? Or is this a sensor issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Dubya Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 try removing the sensor on the passenger side of the radiator, near the filler neck, and clean out the crud (if there is any) on the sensor. More times than not it will solve the issue, also just make sure that the radiator is indeed full of coolant, that can cause it also.

19Cutlass94 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Next time you flush your radiator, use distilled water. This will prevent any calcium buildup that might cause a problem like this. And will prevent calcium buildup in the block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildbill Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 also make sure that there is no air in your coolant. air pockets can form and create hot spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
