Low Coolant Level Sensor / Idiot Light Issue
Hey everyone,
I recently replaced the coolant level sensor in my wife's '02 Monte. The 'Low Coolant Level' idiot light had been coming on but coolant level was fine. After replacing the sensor, all seemed normal at first. Then the idiot light started coming back on. It now comes on (with an accompanying 'ding ding ding') a couple minutes after the car starts running.
Is there a code that needs to be reset? I didn't think so, but now I'm not so sure.
I suppose it's possible that I got a faulty sensor. Any other thoughts on potential solution?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

I replaced the radiator a few months ago. Should be no gunking-up issues.

I'm having the same problem. I have replaced sensor, thermostat, entire coolant resevoir, flushed out dexcool and refilled w/Prestone yellow. Light still comes on after 20min of driving, never loses coolant or runs hot. I Dunno wth to do...
