You most likely have a low coolant sensor that is defective, it is a common problem on all GM cars. The sensor is held in with a clip in the side tank of the radiator.

SOURCE: Indicator lights

I think that there is a button located under the dash at the right side of the steering column. To reset the low tyre pressure warning you need to press the button immediately after inflating all tyres to right pressure.

A possable culprit may be your High / Low or dimmer switch. All the power to your lights are controled through that switch.

Testimonial: "It appears that is the problem, the book says to remove the steering wheel to remove the switch. I broke the wheel and now I'm in deep Do Do."

How are you supposed to add antifreeze to a 1997 Pontiac Grand Prix

the plastic jug is an overflow container when the vehicle gets warm excess coolant from the radiator flows to it there is a sensor somewhere on the jug or in it for coolant level if it doesnt hold coolant it is most likely cracked as it is only plastic and should be replaced

Low Coolant Light Flashing

Next to the radiator is a plastic recovery jug. On the side of the jug are low and high marks to show you how much coolant to put in. This jug will have a small hose running to the radiator.

I got a 1997 pontiac grand prix gtp coupe. the low coolant light constantly flashes. the coolant fluids are full. i just bought it and i am a little frustrated.

Sometimes the float in the low coolant sensor gets stuck.Find where the electrical connector is on the overflow tank and lightly tap on this area.This might dislodge it,if its stuck.Good Luck!!!
