add coolant...?

is there a way to check the coolant level sensor? My add coolant light and buzzer come on and stays on. my radiator and overflow tank are both topped off, and i don't have air in the system.

A better answer to your question would be....

Yes.. there is. Its in the FSM for your year of car.

There should be procedures for testing these sensors. Typically with an ohmeter.

Don't meant to bump this, but he has the exact same problem as I did, and I looked through the FSM, and it seems I'm correct. My Coolant Level Sensor has some exposed wires, and the buzzer is yelling at me randomly. Just curious if anybody knows how I can get another one? I need the cord BEFORE the connector...like from the radiator->connector wire.

I believe that's just a wire. If the sensor itself is good, cover the bare spots of the wire and/or replace the whole thing with... wire.

There wouldn't be any specific "wire" to replace it with? *Obviously, electronics and such confuse me :p*

No. Just get some electrical tape and wrap up the bare spots.
