2001 cadillac deville check coolant level but level is good.

2001 Deville info for me to check coolant; I've added a little to the resovour tank which satisfies the info system, however, this added amount will usually be expelled when driven at operating speed. Could this be a bad sensor or computor adjustment problem?

Are you saying you need to add coolant often? If so you need the leak found and repaired.

SOURCE: 2001 cadillac deville, overheats without loss of coolant

First, provided their are no visible coolant leaks and/or loss of coolant with no signs of leaks, I would thoroughly flush cooling system and replace coolant, then check and/or replace thermostat (you can place thermostat in boiling water to check for proper function), if you have tried these 2 steps and still are experiencing overheating you may need to replace your water pump which can be a tricky job if you're unfamiliar and try to do it yourself, however, I could walk you through it if necessary. Also visually check your radiator hoses for bulges, wear ,etc along with heater hoses etc. You may want to also check radiator fins to see if they are dirty/obstructed and clean if necessary. Let me know if I can assist you further and how it works out

try taking off your fuse panel cover, there should be a reset button in there.

SOURCE: im receiving a check coolant

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.

On my car, which is the same as yours, it is located on the manifold top back left. Pictures in the book just show it on top.

If you added the green anti freeze to you system it will make the check coolent level light come on. Drain the system and use the extended life anti freeze and that will fix the problem.

Message comes on to check cooler level. The overflow or where you add cooler is okay.

check on the side of the resovour there should be a sensor on the side of the tank. i have found these like to stick and leave the check coolant indicator on. check to make sure the coolant is at the full level and gently tap the sensor usually this unsticks it. but to repair it properly ,it will need to be replaced. hope this was helpful!

What kind of coolant goes inside a 1999 cadillac deville base v8

Best Answer

Dexcool is the GM silicate free coolant. If something else has been added, you need to do a good flush. Mixing different types of coolant can have some nasty consequences.
You can find Dexcool just about anywhere antifreeze is sold.

AC and blower sometimes does not come on immediately, Info center reads check coolant but coolant level is fine. Any relationship between the 2 issues??? 2001 cadillac deville

No coolant has to do with heat. freon has to do with ac. Now when you said your ac AND blower doesnt come on right away are you saying it does this ONLY when its on ac or when its on heat too. I would first change out your coolant level sensor or add coolant (which you said was fine) and see what happens. but im sure they are not in relation as the blower motor is on its own circuit
