sunny_8 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 so I get in and start driving, see the low coolent light flash 5 times every minute. Checked the radiator and overflow tank, both are full. Any ideas ? 3.4 L with 102K Cutlass Supreme Drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 probably the level sensor on the side tank. theyre notorious for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunny_8 Posted September 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 so what just add more coolent to the overflow ? Or just leave it.... I am assuming that the side/overflow tank has some sensor in it, which cannot measure correctly right now... Am I correct ? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmin Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 just leave it if its where its supposed to be. its a square sensor w/ a wire clip the goes around it. plug is on the bottom. its about 3-4 inches down from the radiator cap. http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductDetail.aspx?MfrCode=NIE&MfrPartNumber=DR9203&PartType=1178&PTSet=A im not sure how you test to make sure its just the sensor, but it probably is. i replaced the one on my 96 and it would still read low. started working correctly after a couple days, though. idk why, but they like to not work.

ns87 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 If its like my car, theres a level sensor on the radiator. Left side if you're facing engine bay, right side of engine bay. Right at the top too! follow the wires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
