The coolant level warning light has been occasionally lighting up on my dash. I start the engine, all the warning lights briefly light up (as usual) and then the coolant level low indicator lights up. If I then turn of the engine, and start it again, the lamp does not light.
The first instance of this was in January during some very cold temps while driving through Iowa (-25F). It did it every 8 or 10th start. Once I was in warmer temps in TX, the behavior stopped. Then in March it returned again, in modest temps (like 40F). It now seems to do it every 12 or 15th start or so. In all cases, the light doesn't illuminate if I turn off and restart the engine.
Coolant levels all look fine in expansion reservoir.
Any ideas on what I should check?
