    The low coolant sensor is most likely going bad, but you could try having it cleared and see if it comes back.

    One of the best things if you are the driver and do regular preventative maintenance and monitoring coolant level is to have the coolant level sensor set at default in the computer parameters and then unhook it. Those coolant level sensors are CATS biggest nemesis. They may look alright but just a little moisture in the connectors and it will come on.
