Just bought my cadilac and the check coolant level light is staying on. But my coolant level is full. I know it was in a little accident before I bought it. But the whole front end has been replaced with new parts. It was driving fine apart from the light being on. I thought it was just a sensor. But when I got back into it after shutting it off and going into the store. It started but would die instantly. Any ideas???
Does the VAT have to be reset?

The coolant level sensor is located on the radiator. If you are looking at the engine from the front of the car it will be on the left side. There will some kind of clip holding it in the radiator. Removed the clip and pull the sensor out. You will lose coolant so try to swap it out quick or drain some of the coolant out. Once new sensor is installed, install clip to keep the sensor in place and reconnect the wires to the sensor. Crank the engine and make sure the coolant level is full. This should correct your problem.

No the light is linked to a sensor. There is a coolent sensor that tells you that the level is low. It sounds like the sensor has gone bad. And the sensor is located in the coolent tank. If it is bad from my understanding you have to replace the whole tank. But take a paper clip with the engine off and disconnect the wire harness from the sensor and jump the wires and see if the light goes off.

The low coolant sensor should be located in the passenger side radiator tank, You need to take it out and clean the sludge off of it for it to work right. Or you can just unplug it and forget about it, the light will go out and it won't cause any problems.

It could simply be maybe the person changing your oil never reset the light? or you have a oil pressure sensor leaking or not working.
most of the time its someone never reset the oil change light. even before it goes on it goes by mileage, so maybe it didnt go off yet cause you cnahged it a tad early.so noone even tried to reset it.
I guess you could have an oil pressure problem, but thats going the extreme route.. but if nothing else shows that could be a problem.
