hahah i didnt understand wtf that light meant when i got my supra but ya your either low on coolant or your rad may possibly be fucked. Top up the coolant in the rad( when it cools down ovcourse :) ) then fill up the overflow to the little line as well. I myself had to replace my rad cause i guess it kinda melted inside :(

Check your coolant reservoir.

If you have plenty of fluid in the radiator and the overflow is at the line,you might have a bad sensor in the botle itself.
Does it move freely?
Does it move at all?
Wire connections good?

Ive had the sensor in the tank get stuck at the bottom after it was left dry for a period of time. Tap on the bottle and see if that makes the light go off. I had to actually remove my bottle then shake it and that loosened up the sensor. Its just a float basically.

btw, adding coolant to your radiator will not directly make the light go off, as the sensor is in the overflow tank only.

And this is the second birdcage thread this week.

I always thought it looked like a big fancy bank building...and I thought maybe it meant I needed to insert more money...it turned out that wasnt far from the truth. :sarcasm:

prob a bad rad cause i relocated my overflow and cut the wires going to it but got no light but i did get the light when my rad went bad. So check your rad for leaks or any type of damage. And make sure its not clogged or even make sure the sensors are all working.
