Coolant low light with Koyo Radiator
 
What are you guys doing about the coolant level low light in the dash with a aftermarket radiator? Just grounding out the sensor wire? Where is the wire located? I'm thinking i just need to ground it out.. Thanks

I have a koyo aftermarket radiator. They don't have a sensor on the rediator... that's why the light is on

What car do you have KOYO RAD FOR?????
FD Don't have a sensor on radiator......
FC Do have sensor on radiator.....
Sensor for FD is on the FRONT of the water pump.....

Oh ok.. I have not messed with the FD that much.. always owned SA's and FC's... It's a FD Koyo.. So the sensor is on the water pump? And pics of the sensor? or sensor wire colors?

It's in the filler neck when you pop the hood up, black sensor which you can't miss.

So they light is on and the buzzing is on? I had the same problem when i installed my koyo, but i took off the plug on top of the radiator, then i filled it up and it stopped.

Just looked under the hood and see the sensor but no wire.... Now is the sensor wire part of the engine harness? I have a standalone link ECU installed on the 3 rotor under the hood.. I need to ground out the wire after i find it.. Where can i trace it from?

Man I am having the same problem and the wire on the filler neck sensor broke off. I heard the one from the FC's is the same exact one is that true?

At the filler neck, there is the 3/8" coolant hose that comes out of the WP area and goes to the AST. About 2-3" below that is a small wire coming out. That is the low coolant sensor.

That's on a stock engine harness right? So i will have to ground it at the factory ECU plug on the pass side because i'm running an aftermarklet ecu correct?

Sorry, no idea. I'm using the PFC.
