Like the title says i was wanting to know if there was a way to test the sensor to see if it is at fault for my constant beep.
Thanks

If you ground the connector and the buzzer stops, the sensor is bad. If you ground the connector and the buzzer continues, you've probably got a break in the wire somewhere.

Sensor allows current flow if coolant is present - otherwise break in the circuit and alarm stays on.
If the buzzer stays on when you connect the sensor to metal the wire has a break, as mentioned.
I'm fairly sure it's not even a sensor anyways, it's just a switch.

Is there a wire that goes straight from that snesor to the ECU? I was looking through the service manual and cant seem to find what the service manual refer to this sensor as.

c00lduke. It's all part of the warning system. I'll find you the information when I get home tonight.
If I remember correctly the route is this:
CLS (coolant level sensor) < --- > black plug on the driver side right next to the ignition harness plug, power steering pump and under the intake extension arm.
That is the point it connects to.
